Lucknow, Aug 24 (Reporter) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday slammed the pre-poll alliance between National Conference and Congress for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly election. He said that the political ground of Congress and the NC, which thrived on spreading hatred, has become permanently barren. Talking to the media at his official residence, the CM questioned the alliance between the two parties. "The issue of terrorism and separatism have been permanently washed away in the Chenab River," he said. Yogi directed several pointed questions at Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi, challenging his stance and actions. He said that alongside abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A from Jammu and Kashmir, the crown of India, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had reaffirmed its commitment to the assembly election. "Now that the dates for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly election have been announced, this election holds significant importance not only for the people there but also for every Indian who values democracy. The entire world is watching," the CM said. Yogi said, "In such a crucial election, Congress, which leads the INDI alliance has once again exposed its anti-national intentions by forming an alliance with the National Conference, run by Abdullah and Sons Family Private Limited." He said that the manifesto released by the National Conference raise serious concerns about India's unity, integrity and national security. "The alliance between Congress and the National Conference brings forth significant questions about national security and alarms every citizen who genuinely believes in and is loyal to the Indian Constitution," the CM said. Criticism Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Yogi said, "Does the Congress leader support the National Conference's promise to reintroduce a separate flag for Jammu and Kashmir? Do Rahul Gandhi and the Congress endorse the National Conference's intention to drag Jammu and Kashmir back into an era of unrest and terrorism by reinstating Articles 370 and 35A?" He said, "Does Congress support separatist forces by advocating dialogue with Pakistan instead of engaging with the youth of Kashmir? Do Congress and Rahul Gandhi stand behind the National Conference's decision to resume LoC trade with Pakistan, thereby once again fostering terrorism and its infrastructure from across the border?" The CM questioned whether Congress supports reinstating an era of terrorism and unrest by allowing the family members of those involved in terrorism and stone-pelting incidents to return to government positions. He accused Congress of revealing its anti-reservation stance through this alliance. Yogi said, "Does Congress endorse the National Conference's promise to deny reservation rights to Dalits, Gujjars, Bakarwals, and Paharis? Does Congress want Shankaracharya Parvat to be renamed Takht-e-Suleiman and 'Hari Parvat' to be called 'Koh-e-Maran'?” The CM asked whether Congress supports plunging Jammu and Kashmir’s economy into corruption and handing it over to a few Pakistan-backed families. He questioned whether Congress endorses the National Conference's discriminatory politics between Jammu and the valley. "Do the Congress and Rahul Gandhi also support NC’s divisive ideology and policies of granting greater autonomy to Kashmir," Yogi said. He said that after independence, certain leaders who claimed to be the architects of Jammu and Kashmir's destiny misled the youth, turning them into tools for separatist agendas. These leaders armed them with stones and AK-47s. The CM said, "Under PM Modi’s leadership, employment opportunities are being created for the youth of Jammu and Kashmir through tablets and skill development programs. There is no place in Jammu and Kashmir for those who deceive the youth. Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee envisioned a future of humanity, democracy, and Kashmiriyat for Jammu and Kashmir. Modi has turned that vision, rooted in these values and principles, into reality...////...
