Title: Mufti Alleges Foul Play After OGW Jumps in J&K River, Drowns; BJP Slams Her
In a shocking incident, an overground worker (OGW) jumped into a river in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir and drowned, sparking allegations of foul play by former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. The incident has sparked a controversy, with Mufti’s remarks being criticized by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
According to reports, the OGW, who was identified as Riyaz Ahmed, was seen jumping into the river by locals, who immediately alerted the authorities. Ahmed was pulled out of the water, but was declared brought dead at the hospital.
Mufti, who is the president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alleged that the Army had picked up Ahmed two days ago, leading to the incident. She took to Twitter to express her concerns, saying, “Shocking! An OGW in Kulgam’s Yaripora area has been picked up by the Army 2 days ago & now his body has been recovered from the river. What kind of ‘operation’ is this? Who is responsible for this tragic end?”
However, the Army has denied any involvement in Ahmed’s death. In a statement, the Army said, “There is no truth to the allegations made by Mehbooba Mufti. The Army has not picked up anyone from the Yaripora area in the past two days.”
Reacting to Mufti’s remarks, BJP leader Sanju Verma slammed her, saying, “Mehbooba, after the Pahalgam terror attack, said, ‘Why blame Pakistan?’ Now, she is questioning the Army’s conduct. It seems she has no regard for the country’s security.”
Verma’s remarks were in reference to a previous statement made by Mufti, in which she had questioned the need to blame Pakistan for every terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
The incident has sparked a debate on social media, with many users questioning the Army’s involvement in Ahmed’s death. However, others have criticized Mufti for making baseless allegations against the Army.
The incident is seen as a setback for the PDP, which has been critical of the Centre’s policies in Jammu and Kashmir. The party has been demanding greater autonomy for the state and has been critical of the Centre’s handling of the situation in the Valley.
The BJP, on the other hand, has been pushing for a tough stance against terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and has been critical of the PDP’s handling of the situation. The party has been demanding greater cooperation from Pakistan to curb terrorism in the region.
The incident highlights the complexities of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, where allegations of human rights abuses and security forces’ excesses are common. The incident also raises questions about the role of overground workers in the region and their involvement in terrorist activities.
In conclusion, the incident of the OGW jumping into a river and drowning in Kulgam district has sparked a controversy, with Mufti’s remarks being criticized by the BJP. The incident highlights the complexities of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir and raises questions about the role of overground workers in the region.
