Rumour, panic spread by Kashmiri parties baseless: BJP

The J&K unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday asked people not to believe rumours as the top leadership of the party would not take any decision that would not be pro-people as far as Jammu and Kashmir was concerned.

After a meeting of its middle rung leaders and party men at the Jawahar Nagar headquarters of the BJP, state spokesman Altaf Thakur said that local political parties were trying to spread panic among the people to remain relevant after they had lost all the support of the people at the ground level in the state.

"The leaders of these parties are neck-deep in corruption and in order to shift public focus from their misdeeds, they are posing to be the champions of the people of Kashmir.

"The frustration of such elements shows clearly from their statements and speeches," Thakur said.

He added that the fear psychosis these political parties are trying to create is actually affecting them, and not the people. IANS
