Srinagar, May 22: National Conference president, Dr Farooq Abdullah today said the National Conference-led Government was not involved in the demolition drive in Jammu\u2019s Sidhra area.Speaking to reporters after offering Friday prayers at Hazratbal shrine, Abdullah said that investigations are underway into those responsible for the demolitions. \u201cWe are not involved in it. Investigations are underway,\u201d he said.The NC Chief said the issue was not confined to Sidhra and alleged that demolition drives were taking place in many places in Jammu. \u201cIt is not just in Sidhra. It is in many places in Jammu, where this attack has been carried out on the Muslims,\u201d he said.
\nReferring to the Gujjar community, Abdullah said they had historically played a key role in protecting border areas and preventing enemy infiltration. \u201cThe Gujjar Muslims were among the strongest supporters of border security and played an important role in safeguarding the borders against enemy movement,\u201d he said.
\nAsked about a BJP poster campaign in Jammu and Kashmir alleging that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was \u201cmissing\u201d and inactive, the NC president dismissed the campaign, saying the BJP was free to pursue its own political agenda.
\n\u201cBJP has nothing better to do. They have got their own campaigns. They know what they are doing. We do not have to answer for them,\u201d he said.
\nOn reports of strain in the National Conference-Congress alliance, Abdullah denied any differences and said speculation was being spread by political opponents. \u201cI think it\u2019s our enemies who are saying all this. The alliance is already there. The alliance is intact,\u201d he said.
\nWhen asked about tensions involving Iran and the United States, Abdullah expressed hope that the conflict would end soon. \u201cI hope that the war between Iran and the United States will end. And God willing, we will get out of this trouble,\u201d he said.
\nResponding to a question about the killing of a terrorist in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir who was described as a mastermind, the former Chief Minister said killings and demolition of Muslim homes in Jammu were continuing simultaneously. \u201cPeople are being killed every day. The houses of the Muslims are being demolished every day in Jammu,\u201d he said.
\nOn remarks by the PDP that a \u201cYogi Adityanath model\u201d was being implemented in Jammu and Kashmir, Abdullah accused the PDP of being responsible for political developments in the region, including the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A.
\n\u201cYes. They were the ones who made it. They are the ones who abrogated 370 and 35A. They are responsible. They are responsible for the destruction of our state,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cNow they are making noise. What is their job? I am sorry for this. They have no shame. They should look into the mirror. They are taking us towards destruction. Today they are beating the drums. They should first look at themselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
