Jammu Tawi, July 11: BJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta expressed his anguish on the deteriorating law and order situation in the Valley that emerged after killing of Hizbul Mujahidin militant Burhan Wani. While expressing his great grief and sorrow over the death of people in aftermath, he appealed to all the sane elements in the valley to use their good offices in controlling the situation and restoring peace. Prof. Virender was critical of the statements of Omar Abdullah amounting to provoke the common masses and siding with the terrorist activities. He said that Omar Abdullah by his statements is playing politics when Kashmir is boiling and added that this would neither be beneficial to his party nor to the people of Valley, in the long run.
The spokesperson while asking the security persons to avoid the privileges urges the people of Valley to restrain the youth from participating in the protests. Continuation of such situation shall have adverse consequences for the general masses and also affect the business and tourism.
Prof. Gupta observed that terrorism from Valley can only be finished if all the political parties and social activists put their heads together, leave their political agendas apart and work united to bring the people of Valley in national mainstream. They have to bring realization among the Kashmiri masses, the benefits of being a part of Indian Union, Try to curb the fundamental forces operating in the Valley. The most of the responsibility lies with National Conference and PDP. They should stop supporting the separatist forces of the Valley, isolate them, shelve their agendas of great autonomy and self rule for a period of time and put their all efforts to bring the people in the national mainstream.
