National Conference President Slams BJP for Betrayal in IIOJK

Dr. Farooq Abdullah, President of the National Conference, has voiced strong concerns regarding the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) betrayal of the people in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

He accused the BJP of perpetuating suffering for the residents of IIOJK through its policies. In his statement, Abdullah emphasized that the actions of the BJP-led government, along with its local partners, have severely jeopardized the future of all Kashmiri communities.

Abdullah highlighted that the BJP has betrayed the people of Jammu specifically. He asserted that the National Conference-Congress alliance is committed to restoring the rights of all residents in IIOJK. This commitment extends beyond Jammu to encompass the entire region.

The alliance aims to empower locals by ensuring they have control over vital resources like minerals, contracts, jobs, and trade. Abdullah stressed that priority must be given to the people in job opportunities and resource management, along with preserving their cultural identity.

He criticized the BJP for making grand promises but failing to deliver on any of them. “Where are the jobs they promised? Where is the investment they boasted about?” he questioned, highlighting the disconnect between BJP’s assurances and reality.

Instead of progress, Abdullah pointed out that Jammu is experiencing a loss of jobs and contracts to outside entities. He expressed frustration over the financial burdens imposed by toll taxes, which disproportionately affect the poor.

Additionally, he noted that essential services such as electricity and water are lacking, worsening the challenges faced by the region’s youth. This situation contributes to a growing sense of disillusionment among the population.

Abdullah’s remarks reflect a broader sentiment of dissatisfaction among the people of IIOJK. His call to action emphasizes the importance of local governance and the need for political accountability.

The National Conference seeks to re-establish trust and support for the people, positioning itself as a champion of their rights. By prioritizing local needs and concerns, the alliance hopes to counteract the BJP’s influence and policies.

To conclude, Dr. Farooq Abdullah’s statements underscore the urgency for change in IIOJK. He calls for unity and collective action among the residents to reclaim their rights and resources. As discontent grows, the political landscape in IIOJK continues to evolve, with the National Conference one of the parties asserting its role in advocating for the people’s interests.
