BJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta while rebutting the statement of DR. Farooq Abdullah, asking the Centre to dare to hoist the national flag at Lal Chowk, Srinagar, said that had the process of complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir state with India started by Gulam Mohd. Sadiq continued and had Indira Gandhi not committed the historical and Himalayan blunder in 1975 to give the Chief Ministership of the state on the platter, with the Congress support in J&K Legislature, to Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah, who was loitering in street of Srinagar, Farooq Abdullah along with his son would have preferred to settle in London and would not have dared to say these words. He said that the reign of terror and injustice that Pakistan government has inflicted on the people made the masses of these areas to start the revolt against the present regime. He stated that sooner or later PoJK, Gilgit and Baltistan shall be the part of India and Balochistan is going to be an independent country like Bangladesh.
Prof. Virender Gupta said that Farooq Abdullah is not “Bap” of Jammu & Kashmir. Had the Indian forces not landed in the valley and had not flushed out the invaders, where would have been “Bap” of Farooq Abdullah. He reminded Farooq Abdullah that Kashmir was part of Sikh kingdom and it was Dogra Maharaja Gulab Singh who got the Kashmir from the Sikh raj by paying rupees seventy-five lakh. He further added that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and the person who challenges the integration would have to vanish or take refugee in Pakistan. He further cautioned Farooq to desist from making these types of anti-national and unrealistic statements. Otherwise, he may face the music and wrath of the people.
