Jammu, Jan 23: Senior BJP leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, Sunil Sharma, stated on Thursday that former Chief MinisterDr. Farooq Abdullah is too insignificant to pose a threat to the nation, but he remains a threat to the people of J&K.
Reacting to Dr Farooq Abdullah’s statement from Wednesday, in which he claimed that India has enemies within the country, Sharma issued a statement on Thursday, asserting, "I want to make it clear to Dr Farooq Abdullah that under the exemplary leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the country is in the safest hands and faces no internal or external threat. Our enemies know where they stand today and won’t dare to do anything."
Sharma further added, "On the internal front, it is people like you who are a threat to the fabric of the country, who lie to people, and who have multiple versions depending on who they are talking to. If politicians like Dr Farooq stop lying and making one set of statements in Delhi, another in Jammu, and yet another in Kashmir, maybe then we, the people of J&K, can live in peace, harmony, and prosperity."
"My humble request is, just go through what you were saying before the elections and what you are saying now. From politics to governance, all lies, lies, and lies. Sir, very humbly, you are too small to be a threat to the country, but you are a threat to the people of J&K. You are a threat to their happiness, to their right to live peaceful lives, and to their desire to live a life of prosperity," Sharma claimed.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a party function on Wednesday, Dr. Farooq Abdullah had accused the BJP of putting the country in reverse gear by allegedly raking up non-issues for political mileage. [KNT]
