| Anurag Singh Thakur, Union Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs, in-charge of Jammu and Kashmir DDC elections, has stated, “it is clear from the statements and activities of the Gupkar Gang, that they are echoing the sentiments and agenda of Pakistan and China.” Anurag Thakur along with the rest of the BJP leaders was campaigning for the BJP candidates for the ongoing DDC elections in Phallan Mandal and other areas. Thakur said, “when Article 370 and 35A were abrogated the Gupkar Gang was the first to ask for its restoration, just like Pakistan. When we took action against separatists, the Gupkar Gang was the first to show sympathy for their welfare and demand their freedom, just like Pakistan. When we restored democratic rights and the electoral process in J&K, the Gupkar Gang was the first to boycott it, just like Pakistan. When J&K was fully integrated under India’s constitution and national flag, Gupkar Gang wanted to restore a separate flag here.” Sh Thakur questioned them and said, “why is the Gupkar Gang echoing the sentiments of India’s enemies? Why are they standing shoulder to shoulder with those who ruined the lives of the people J&K? They have spent a lifetime doing divisive politics, how much longer should the people have to suffer their Pakistan propaganda?” Sh Thakur went on to say, “the agenda of Pakistan and China sympathisers will never succeed, those who threaten the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India, will continue to get a befitting reply under Prime Minister Modi’s government. There is zero tolerance towards acts of terrorism and anti-national activities. ‘Rashtriya Ekta’ has triumphed over the Gupkar Gangs ‘Tukde Tukde’ agenda.” Thakur added, “the real face of the Gupkar Gang has been exposed, their activities in public and these elections will begin a new era in J&K; where all round development is the only agenda and goal.” |
