Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal hits out at BJP for its 'failure' in Kashmir

New Delhi: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday attacked the BJP government at the Centre for its "inaction" even as Kashmiri Pandits were being attacked and forced to leave the Valley.

Addressing a Jan Aakrosh Rally, organised by the Aam Aadmi Party at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, Kejriwal compared the present situation with what happened in the 1990s when Kashmiri Pandits fled from the Valley.

"Despite so many people being killed in broad daylight, the BJP has no plan to tackle the situation. They are only conducting meeting after meeting. BJP has failed completely in Kashmir. Whenever BJP comes to power, Kashmiri Pandits are forced to leave Kashmir. Why does this happen? This shows BJP cannot handle Kashmir. They only know how to do dirty politics. Please don't do politics over Kashmir," the AAP national convenor said.

"The BJP government is not even allowing them (Kashmiri Pandits) to protest the killings. They are being confined, their rights are being scuttled," he said. "The government has completely failed to provide security to the people living in Kashmir. This is similar to what happened in 1990," he said.

Kejriwal also hit out at Pakistan, accusing it of supporting terrorists in Kashmir. "I want to tell Pakistan to stop petty tactics. Kashmir will always be a part of India," he said. Kashmir has been hit by targeted killings by terrorists, who have targeted mostly Hindus and non-locals.
