Spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Sambit Patra on Monday took a jibe of National Conference executive Farooq Abdullah for his announcement to a news channel that he hoped that Article 370 will be reestablished in Jammu and Kashmir with China’s assistance, hitting back with a sedition charge on him.
“On September 24, Farooq Abdullah said that if you go to Jammu and Kashmir and inquire as to whether they are Indians, at that point individuals will say that we are not Indians. In a same statement, he likewise said it would be good if we could join China,” Patra said in a press conference.
He said that Abdullah’s announcement is an impression of his attitude. “In a way, Farooq Abdullah justifies China’s expansionist mindset in his interview. At the same time, another traitor comments that if we get a chance in the future, we will bring Article 370 back with China.”
“Scrutinizing the power of the nation, scrutinizing the autonomy of the nation. Does it suit a MP? Aren’t these anti-national things?”
“Same Farooq Abdullah had said whether POK belongs to India’s father that it will take POK, as if Pakistan had worn bangles.” Patra also added, “The kind of softness Abdullah has shown for Pakistan and China raises a lot of questions.”
Further, attacking Rahul Gandhi for scrutinizing India’s careful strikes and air strikes on Pakistan, Patra said that now Farooq Abdullah has become a hero in China.
“Only Farooq Abdullah says this is not so, if you go into history and listen to the recent statements of Rahul Gandhi, you will find that these are two sides of the same coin.”
