Pulwama, JK : BJP spokesperson Altaf Thakur on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the National Conference (NC), accusing the Abdullah family of misleading people and diverting public attention from pressing issues in Jammu and Kashmir.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a party meeting at the BJP office in Pulwama, Thakur alleged that the Abdullah family practises what he termed “shift politics”, changing its political narrative according to the audience and location.
He claimed that the family speaks about Pakistan in Kashmir, secularism in Jammu and nationalism in Delhi. Thakur also held the Abdullah family responsible for what he described as the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Raising the issue of unemployment, the BJP leader claimed that the unemployment rate in J&K had touched nearly 10 per cent, alleging that the NC leadership was attempting to divert public attention from issues affecting ordinary people.
Thakur also pointed towards alleged internal differences within the National Conference, claiming that some party MLAs had boycotted official functions attended by ministers. He described it as an indication of growing disunity within the ruling party and predicted that the NC would struggle to sustain itself amid the alleged differences.
