BJP slams Farooq Abdullah for 'promising' regional autonomy in J&K

Deccan Chronicle  

Jammu: The BJP on Friday hit out at National Conference chief Farooq Abduallah over his remarks to grant autonomy to Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir regions if his party comes to power in the state. "I want to make a promise that God willing if we form the next government, we will bring a resolution to grant autonomy to the three regions," Abdullah said, as he welcomed expelled BJP leader and former MLA Gagan Bhagat into the National Conference. "Farooq Abdullah has tried to mislead Jammuites and create confusion and discord in peace loving people of Jammu belonging to different religious and ethnic groups by promising greater autonomy to Jammu in case National Conference comes to power in next elections," State Bharatiya Janata Party Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi told reporters in Jammu. Sethi said that National Conference wants to divide the people of Jammu Province in regional sub groups to create sub regions of Muslim majority by creating mistrust and hatred between people who have always lived in complete harmony.
