Accusing the BJP of changing Jammu and Kashmir right into a “laboratory for its experiments”, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday mentioned she has requested NC president Farooq Abdullah to convene an all-party assembly over ballot authorities permitting outsiders to register as voters within the Union Territory.
Hours later, a National Conference (NC) spokesperson mentioned social gathering president Farooq Abdullah has spoken to all mainstream events in Jammu and Kashmir, besides the BJP, and invited them to hitch the assembly right here on August 22 to debate the difficulty.
“I have requested Farooq Sahib, being the seniormost leader, to convene an all-party meeting to discuss the new developments for adopting a unified course of action to deal with it,” Mufti instructed reporters earlier.
The PDP president mentioned she has requested the National Conference chief to ask even such events with which “we have differences”.
Mufti mentioned the transfer of the election authorities to permit outsiders residing ordinarily — for jobs, schooling or enterprise — in Jammu and Kashmir as voters within the Union Territory was “aimed at finishing off the democracy” right here.
“This is the last nail in the coffin of democracy here. Earlier, they did half the rigging through the delimitation commission. The head (of the commission) has been duly rewarded. Democracy is being finished,” she mentioned.
Mufti mentioned the BJP has “converted Jammu and Kashmir into a laboratory” for its experiments that are then replicated throughout the nation.
“Jammu and Kashmir has become a laboratory for the BJP. It conducts experiments here and replicates them all across the country. The BJP is rigging the elections across the country,” she alleged.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president mentioned in some states, there are allegations of EVM manipulation whereas in others, the BJP is “using money power to topple elected governments to install its own”.
“Their only alliance partner across the country in this is the ED. They want to have BJP government everywhere as their ultimate goal is to replace the national tricolour with a saffron flag,” she added.
Mufti mentioned she wished to inform the nationalist individuals of India, who really feel completely happy over disempowerment of the individuals of Jammu and Kashmir, that every little thing that was being achieved is “unconstitutional”.
“I wish to inform the nationalist events of India, those that fought for the liberty of the nation and never those that wrote apology letters to the British, that no matter is being achieved in Jammu and Kashmir is being achieved unconstitutionally.
The BJP is telling you that they’re doing all this for the Constitution and the nation however they’re doing it just for the BJP,” she added.
Mufti mentioned the BJP was resorting to demographic modifications to tilt the electoral stability in its favour in Jammu and Kashmir because it has been “unable to defeat the resolve of the people”.
“They have been ruling Jammu and Kashmir directly for three (four) years now but have been unable to defeat the resolve of the people to resist. Now they have resorted to allowing outsiders to register as voters in a bid to disenfranchise the people. But this demographic change will not only affect Muslims but Dogras and Kashmiri Pandits as well,” she mentioned.
Mufti, a former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, mentioned the management must deal with the decision of the Kashmir difficulty because it was “no more just about elections”.
“We must deal with decision of Kashmir difficulty because the BJP is utilizing all of the backdoor and quick cuts. It will not be about elections anymore, it has gone past the elections.
“These moves will only radicalise the Kashmiri youth. More and more youth are picking up guns. Kashmiri Pandits who were living here for the past 32 years are now being targeted,” she mentioned.
Mufti accused the BJP of adopting the “policy of Nazi Germany and Israel here so that they can install a fascist” on the helm of affairs.
“But they should remember that Hitler was not able to eliminate Jews and Israel will not be able to finish of Palestinians. The same way they cannot do it here as well till the last Dogra and last Kashmiri is standing,” she mentioned.
At a press convention on Wednesday, Jammu and Kashmir’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Hirdesh Kumar mentioned the Union Territory is more likely to get round 25 lakh further voters, together with outsiders, after the particular abstract revision of electoral rolls being held for the primary time after the abrogation of Article 370.
