BJP misleading Indians over recently passed special status resolution: Congress
Jammu: With an eye on the upcoming Assembly polls in the Indian states of Maharashtra and Jharkhand, the Bharatiya Janata Party has been misleading the people of India over the recently passed resolution on the restoration of the special status of occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Congress said on Sunday.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the IIOJK Assembly on November 7 passed a resolution moved by the ruling National Conference, seeking the restoration of the J&K’s special status.
The passage of the resolution last week irked BJP members who staged protests and disrupted the first session of the newly elected Kashmir Assembly.
“The BJP can go to any extent to befool people on emotional issues…. the BJP’s top leadership are crying hoarse to mislead the nation against the Congress ahead of Maharashtra and Jharkhand elections,” said the Congress’ IIOJK unit vice-president Ravinder Sharma.
He said the Congress stands committed to fighting for the restoration of IIOJK’s full statehood with special status to safeguard land, jobs, natural resources and the cultural identity. KMS-17K
