Jammu: As NC’s Farooq Abdullah called for talks with Pakistan after the Poonch incident, Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana labelled Pakistan as the hub of militancy stating that talks with Pakistan and the prevailing situation cannot coexist.
He said that engaging with the neighbouring state, marred by militancy and failure, holds no meaning
Speaking to the media during the weekly public hearing at the BJP headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Devender Rana, accompanied by Veena Khanna, BJP State Secretary, and Shalinder Vaid, BJP Additional Protocol Secretary, reiterated the national leadership’s stance that ‘dialogue and terrorism are incompatible’
He said the advocacy of talk with Pak, coming in the backdrop of gruesome and unfortunate recent militancy-related incidents, is all the more worrisome.
“There is a need to be extra vigilant against the terror ecosystem that instantaneously jumps to provide cover to acts of terror. A few people may try to condone or downplay the barbarism. Also, engagement with sovereign countries is a central subject and those poking noses were venturing out to forbidden domains and trying to carve out an unsolicited role for themselves,” he said.
“This momentum in socio-economic activities, which might be uncomfortable for those basing their politics on boiling Kashmir for the lust of power, will have to be carried forward with active cooperation of the people as per the cherished agenda of the Prime Minister, who believes in Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas. For realising the vision of Naya Jammu and Kashmir, it is incumbent for all to strengthen the hands of Yashasvi Narendra Modiji, he added.
