Jammu & Kashmir wants tourism, not terrorism: BJP leader

Mr. Chugh minced no words to attack PAGD, alleging that they had been misleading Jammu and Kashmir’s people at the instance of Pakistan and China.

Ahead of the second anniversary of the abrogation of special status of Jammu and Kashmir, BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Saturday warned Pakistan for its support to terrorism and said the people in the Union Territory want tourism and not terrorism. Mr. Chugh, who is also party’s incharge of Jammu and Kashmir, minced no words to attack Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD), an amalgam of several mainstream parties including National Conference and PDP, alleging that they had been misleading Jammu and Kashmir’s people at the instance of Pakistan and China. “Pakistan should stop playing with fire in J&K by planting and propagating terrorism... The people here want tourism and not terrorism,” the senior BJP leader said addressing a party function in Jammu.
