Srinagar, May 8: Conference (NC) President Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of trying to create divisions between Hindus and Muslims for the sake of votes and urged the public to send him out of power. Addressing a public meeting in the Eidgah locality here in support of party candidate Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, Abdullah said, “They are spreading hatred among Muslims and Hindus. It does not behove the prime minister of to do such things.
When he goes outside the country, he is the prime minister of all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Buddhists. But, when he seeks votes here, he tries to divide us.” He said the BJP talks about Lord Ram as if Ram did not exist before and cited a scholar from Pakistan who wrote and Ram and Buddha both.
“A renowned religious scholar from Lahore, Dr Israr Ahmad, has written about Ram and Gautam Buddha, that both of them have been sent by God to show God's way to the people. They have forgotten Buddha now and claim they have brought Ram,” Abdullah said. The former Union minister also blamed the Central government for the 2019 Pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF jawans were killed.
“The then Governor, Satya Pal Malik, himself said that (explosive-ridden) car was roaming around for three weeks and when it reached the spot, innocent people were martyred. “He (Malik) had told the prime minister that it was our mistake that 40 CRPF personnel were killed, but Modi asked him to shut up, saying we have to blam.
