Won't allow restoration of Article 370, let them take 100 rebirths: BJP J&K chief hits out at Digvijay Singh

India Today  

In a scathing attack on the Congress over its senior leader Digvijay Singh's remarks on Article 370, Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Ravinder Raina said on Saturday that his party will not allow the Congress leaders' "conspiracy" against India to succeed even if they take “100 rebirths". “The script was originally written by Gandhis and directed from Pakistan,” he said on remarks by Singh in a clubhouse conversation that the revocation of Article 370 and stripping Jammu and Kashmir of statehood was an "extremely sad" decision and his party will have a "relook" at the issue. "The Article was responsible for the grave injustice with various communities including Gujjars and Bakerwals, Pahari speaking people, women and West Pakistani refugees,” the BJP leader said. Meanwhile, right-wing outfit Vishwa Hindu Parishad also reacted sharply to the purported remarks of the Congress leader and requested the Centre and the J&K government to keep an eye on “elements who, on the behest of their separatist friends and in order to gain some limelight, issue such sadistic statements hurting the sentiments of nationalist citizens.” “This pro-Pakistan agenda of terrorists can never be fulfilled as Congress or Digvijaya-minded people are never going to regain political power in India,” J&K VHP president Leelakaran Sharma said in a statement.
