Jammu, December 02, 2021 (PPI-OT):Reiterating his commitment for restoration of the special status enjoyed by Jammu and Kashmir, National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah criticised Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for “the unilateral decisions” of August 5, 2019, pointing out that all the projected promises deflated and the ground situation belied the claims of the Narendra Modi led Indian government.

Abdullah addressing a public meeting at Dak Bungalow Bhaderwah, Doda district of Jammu region on the penultimate day of his eight-day tour of Chenab valley said that the soaring unemployment rate, high inflation, and administrative inertia proved the claims of the Government of India hollow.

“Far from bringing peace and development to the region, the days and months that followed the unilateral and unconstitutional decisions of 5 August 2019 saw the return of targeted killings, return of bunkers, political instability, insecurity and escalation of violence. Today forces are being stationed in marriage halls, forces imprint has increased on ground. Today Srinagar presents a garrison-like look,” he said.
