Jammu: Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Friday criticised the Congress party, stating that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) is a consequence of Jawaharlal Nehru’s policies.
While speaking with ANI, the Union Minister said, “Why was PoK formed? Who is responsible? Congress is responsible for the partition of India. Today, Kashmir is occupied by Pakistan because of the policies of Jawaharlal Nehru.”
He further added, “Had our forces had more time, they would have freed the region at that time only.”
In addition to these remarks, Chouhan highlighted the government’s initiatives to strengthen the agriculture sector under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat.’
He said, “A prosperous farmer is important for a Viksit Bharat. A ‘Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan’ is underway throughout the country. Agricultural scientists have formed 2,170 teams and are visiting villages across the country, and speaking with farmers. To make farming profitable and increase production, the cost of production should be reduced.”
On Friday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari also took aim at Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi, criticising his response to the Pahalgam terror attack and labelling him a “casual leader and baalak buddhhi (childish mindset).”
Speaking to ANI, Bhandari compared Rahul Gandhi’s recent actions with his behaviour during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, claiming he was seen partying while the nation was grieving.
Bhandari accused Gandhi of having questionable priorities, suggesting that he is more interested in partying and practising Jujutsu with Congress workers than addressing national concerns. He also criticised Gandhi for allegedly promoting narratives that favour Pakistan. (ANI)
