New Delhi [India], August 21 (ANI): Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Wednesday slammed Rahul Gandhi for criticising Kashmir on the global stage but seeking votes from the region, labelling this behaviour as Gandhi’s “double face.”
The criticism comes amid talks of a potential alliance between the Congress party and the National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir. Rahul Gandhi, Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah are expected to finalise a seat-sharing agreement as part of this alliance. Gandhi is currently visiting Jammu and Kashmir.
Singh alleged that Gandhi had been at the forefront of efforts to divide the country and incite conflict between Hindus and Muslims. He also accused Gandhi of failing to address severe issues in West Bengal, such as the recent gang-rape and murder of a female doctor in Kolkata.
“Whether it is to divide the country or spread confusion in the country, fight between Hindus and Muslims or make them backwards and forward, Rahul Gandhi is at the forefront in these works. But when a daughter is gang-raped in Bengal, Rahul Gandhi scolds the journalists. He will not go to Bengal but will go to Hapur in Uttar Pradesh. He will abuse Kashmir all over the world. Today he is going to ask for votes from the people of Kashmir, this is the double face of Rahul Gandhi,” he said.
Singh criticized the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the rape and murder of a doctor in Kolkata. He stated that her government had protected the criminal and called for her resignation.
“A female doctor has been raped and later murdered in West Bengal. On the basis of morality, Mamata Banerjee should resign from her post. Whether such incidents have happened in Maharashtra or Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, the criminals have been caught there, but Mamata Banerjee’s government has protected the criminals, and that is why Mamata Banerjee should resign from her post. Mamata Banerjee should be ashamed of being a woman leader and she should resign from her post,” he said.
Further criticising Gandhi, Singh suggested that while Gandhi is focused on electoral gains, Prime Minister Modi prioritises the development, peace, and tranquility of Jammu and Kashmir.
“Mehbooba Mufti cannot see in Jammu and Kashmir, she will have to change her glasses. Mehboob Mufti and Farooq Abdullah will not see the development of Jammu and Kashmir.. Rahul Gandhi has gone to Jammu and Kashmir, he will make an alliance there and contest elections, elections are paramount for him. Development, peace and tranquility of Jammu Kashmir are important for Prime Minister Modi. Mufti had said that the tricolour is not hoisted in Kashmir. If the tricolour is hoisted, then there will be no one left to hoist the tricolour,” he said. (ANI)
