IIOJK’s electricity diverted to Rajasthan, UP by LG Sinha: Farooq Abdullah
Jammu: National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has said that the electricity of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir has been diverted to Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh states of India by Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, leaving the people of the territory to suffer.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Farooq Abdullah addressing a public rally in Kathua district reiterated the demand for the restoration of Kashmir’s statehood and said without it, several challenges cannot be addressed.
“Look at the state of electricity here. We do not have electricity but our electricity has been given to Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh by the Lieutenant Governor. “Where will we go? Where will we get electricity from? Nobody thought about this. Nobody considered this,” Abdullah lamented.
He said, “We are the owners of power (electricity)… one day even their (LG and BJP’s) (political) power will be gone — just wait and see. The Almighty will bring justice one day, but it takes time.”
Farooq Abdullah stressed the urgency of restoring statehood. “It is true that until statehood is restored, we cannot do many things. But that too will come soon,” he said, expressing hope for a brighter future.
