Jammu/Srinagar, August 5 – Launching a fierce attack on the Congress and National Conference leadership on the sixth anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370, BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Tuesday questioned whether Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah, and Rahul Gandhi were acting as “ambassadors of Pakistan” in India.
“For them, Pakistan’s interests are more important than national concerns,” Chugh alleged, accusing the opposition of parroting Islamabad’s narrative. “It’s a dangerous cocktail of appeasement and political delusion… The Gupkar gang and the Congress want to reignite the fire in Jammu & Kashmir.”
Chugh said that under the Modi government, J&K has witnessed “unprecedented development” in the six years since the special status was scrapped on August 5, 2019. “The Jammu-Srinagar rail link, once a distant dream, is now a reality. J&K today is known more for tourism than terrorism,” he said.
Responding to Farooq Abdullah’s recent remarks that militancy would end only if India improves ties with Pakistan, Chugh said, “India’s security doesn’t rely on goodwill from foreign powers. It is shaped by political will — and Prime Minister Modi has shown that with surgical strikes, the Balakot airstrike, and Operation Sindoor.”
Chugh also took aim at Rahul Gandhi, saying: “Why does the INDI alliance always seem to be in pain when Pakistan suffers? Why does Operation Sindoor offend them instead of making them proud?”
He slammed the current NC-Congress supported J&K government, calling it “inactive, uninspired, and visionless.” “They have a full cabinet and dozens of departments — yet not a single promise made in their manifesto has been fulfilled,” he claimed.
Blaming the state leadership for inaction while shifting responsibility onto the Lieutenant Governor, Chugh said, “The LG oversees law and order, but the real power lies with the elected cabinet. They can’t keep hiding.”
Concluding his scathing remarks, Chugh said, “The Abdullahs, Muftis, and Gandhis must decide — do they stand with India or speak in the voice of its enemies?”
