Title: Mufti Alleges Foul Play After OGW Jumps in J&K River, Drowns; BJP Slams Her
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has alleged foul play in the death of an overground worker (OGW) who jumped into a river in Kulgam district and drowned. The OGW, whose identity has not been disclosed, was reportedly picked up by the Army two days ago, according to locals. Mufti’s allegations have sparked a controversy, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slamming her remarks.
According to reports, the OGW jumped into the river in Kulgam district on Tuesday, and despite efforts by locals and authorities, his body was recovered on Wednesday. The incident has sparked a heated debate, with Mufti alleging that the OGW was tortured to death by the Army.
“Locals have alleged that the OGW was picked up by the Army two days ago. It’s a very serious allegation, and I think it’s the duty of the government to investigate this matter thoroughly,” Mufti said in a statement.
However, the BJP has rejected Mufti’s allegations, with party leader Sanju Verma stating that the former Chief Minister has a history of making baseless claims.
“Mehbooba, after the Pahalgam terror attack, said, ‘Why blame Pakistan?’ She has a history of making such statements. We don’t think she has any credibility left,” Verma said in a statement.
The controversy has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many taking to Twitter to express their opinions. Some have supported Mufti’s allegations, calling for an investigation into the incident, while others have slammed her for making baseless accusations.
The incident has also raised questions about the treatment of OGWs in Jammu and Kashmir. OGWs are individuals who collaborate with terrorist organizations, providing them with information and assistance. While some OGWs may be innocent, many have been involved in terrorist activities, and their treatment has been a contentious issue in the region.
The Jammu and Kashmir administration has ordered an investigation into the incident, with the police and the Army conducting separate inquiries. The administration has also promised to provide compensation to the OGW’s family.
The controversy has also come at a time when the BJP is facing criticism over its handling of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. The party has been accused of suppressing dissent and human rights abuses in the region, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability.
In conclusion, the alleged foul play in the death of an OGW in Jammu and Kashmir has sparked a heated debate, with Mufti alleging that the OGW was tortured to death by the Army. While the BJP has rejected her allegations, the incident has raised questions about the treatment of OGWs in the region. As the investigation into the incident continues, it remains to be seen whether Mufti’s allegations will be proven or disproven.
