POK will be part of India soon after BJP forms govt in J&K: Yogi Adityanath

He sought votes for Devendra Kumar Maniyal in Ramgarh, Chandraprakash Ganga in Vijaypur, Surjit Singh in Samba, Narinder Singh Raina in RS Pura, Gharuram Bhagat in Suchetgarh, and Rajiv Bhagat in Bishnah. He could not attend a rally in Chhamb due to inclement weather and sent a message urging voters to support BJP candidate Rajiv Sharma.

At the Ramgarh rally, he said, “Pakistan is struggling to save democracy. Voices for separation are rising in the POK. If elections were conducted in Muzaffarabad alongside the Jammu and Kashmir elections, it would send a positive message. Balochistan itself is stating that its chemistry doesn’t align with Pakistan, as the country is a cancer to humanity, and the world should aim to eradicate it.”

Claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi fulfilled Syama Prasad Mookerjee’s dream by abrogating Article 370, Yogi remarked, “The nursery of terrorism has come to an end. The Congress, PDP, and National Conference had turned Jammu and Kashmir into a warehouse of terrorism, but with Narendra Modi as Prime Minister and Amit Shah as Home Minister, terrorism is on its way out, and stone pelters have vanished.”

“You have witnessed a new Jammu and Kashmir of a new India This is no longer a terrorism state. It has emerged as an exceptional tourism destination. During the tenure of the Congress, PDP, and NC, one had to make appeals for hoisting the tricolour here, but now we host the G-20 summit,” he added.

Previously, there were threats against the Amarnath Yatra, and people from these parties would tremble at the thought (of organising the pilgrimage), he claimed. “Now, people from across the country and the world come to visit Baba Barfani and Maa Vaishno.”

He further asserted, “When Modi and Shah introduced the Citizenship Amendment Act, these parties opposed it vehemently. The 1990s marked a peak of sins committed by Congress, PDP, and the NC, during which Kashmiri Pandits faced brutal persecution. Instead of supporting them, these parties sided with terrorists. Only the BJP stood in solidarity with the Kashmiri Pandits.”

Criticising former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru for imposing Article 370 in J&K, the Uttar Pradesh CM said the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits was a consequence of the policies of Congress and Nehru.

The BJP and PM Modi, he claimed, embody the aspirations of both the nation and this region.

“Despite the Congress’s extended rule, the Ayodhya issue remained unresolved until the BJP took charge and made peaceful construction of the Ram temple happen without any negative consequences. Does the Congress endorse terrorism and unrest by providing government jobs to the relatives of stone-pelters and separatists? The Congress appears to be showcasing an anti-reservation stance alongside the National Conference,” he said.

“Does the Congress wish for Shankaracharya Parvat to be referred to as Takht-e-Sulaiman, and Hari Parvat as Koh-e-Maran? Is the Congress in favour of transferring Jammu and Kashmir’s economy to a select people linked to Pakistan, effectively reverting it to a state of corruption?”.
