Events in Sri Lanka should be wake up call for India
Press Trust of Kashmir | Srinagar : Jammu and Kashmir is facing lot of challenges after abrogation of article 370 and BJP is trying to disempower people of J&K.
Former chief Minister of erstwhile J&K state and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti while holding press conference at Srinagar said that when BJP has failed to give any relief to people of India, they just want to Hindu-Muslim to fight with each other.
She said that BJP government has failed to create employment opportunities for the educated youth besides that inflation is touching sky and they are now just trying to start communal fight.
India is now behind Nepal and other countries in poverty and they are now just trying to engage people in communal fights and all machinery is being kept after Muslims, she said.
Instead of trying to create environment of communal fights, they should have brought back those who have left country with black money, she said, adding that govt is just after our heritage and if they have courage they should turn Red fort and Taj Mahal into temples as well, then we will see who will visit here.
We have communal harmony here and there are temples, gurduwaras and Masjids together and it is our identity, she said, adding that our LG is not any monk Or priest wherever he visits he starts Pujjas.
She said that instead of trying to become a monk Or priest, he must focus on developmental activities like water, electricity and roads.
There are hundreds of youth who have either no charges Or minor charges have been kept in jails since long now and on the other hand our own constitutional head started Pujja where Pujja wasn’t allowed.
She said that situation in Sri Lanka should serve as a wake up call for India as the country was “treading the same path” as the neighbouring country.
Mahinda Rajapaksa resigned as Sri Lanka’s prime minister on Monday amid unprecedented economic turmoil in the country, hours after his supporters attacked anti-government protesters, prompting authorities to impose a nationwide curfew and deploy Army troops in the capital.
What happened in Sri Lanka should serve as a wake up call. Since 2014, India is being whipped into a communal frenzy & imagined fears. It is treading the same path of hyper nationalism & religious majoritarianism. All at the cost of disrupting social cohesion & economic security”, she said.:-PTK.
