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 once again made headlines with her recent statement regarding the death of an overground worker (OGW) who jumped into a river in Kulgam district and drowned. Mufti alleged foul play, stating that locals claimed the worker was picked up by the Army two days ago. However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has slammed her remarks, drawing parallels with her previous statement after the Pahalgam terror attack.
According to reports, the OGW, identified as 25-year-old Tariq Ahmed, had gone missing two days ago. Locals claimed that he was picked up by the Army, and his body was later recovered from the river. Mufti, who is the president of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), alleged that there was foul play involved in Ahmed’s death.
“Mysterious deaths are becoming the norm in this BJP rule,” Mufti tweeted. “Locals in Kulgam claim Tariq Ahmed, an OGW, was picked up by the Army 2 days ago. His body was recovered from the river today. It’s high time the Centre takes cognizance of these heinous crimes and holds those responsible accountable.”
Mufti’s statement has sparked a heated debate, with many questioning the role of the Army in Ahmed’s death. However, the BJP has dismissed her allegations, stating that she had made similar claims in the past without any evidence.
“Mehbooba, after the Pahalgam terror attack, said, ‘Why blame Pakistan?'” tweeted BJP leader Sanju Verma. “Now, she’s making baseless allegations about the Army. We demand proof of her claims, and till then, her words are just empty rhetoric.”
Verma’s statement is a reference to Mufti’s previous remark after the Pahalgam terror attack, in which she questioned the government’s decision to blame Pakistan for the attack without any concrete evidence. Mufti had argued that the government was trying to divert attention from its own failures and was using the terror attack as a pretext to demonize Pakistan.
The BJP has consistently accused Mufti of playing politics over sensitive issues, including terrorism and national security. The party has also accused her of trying to create communal divisions and undermine the government’s efforts to combat terrorism.
However, Mufti has maintained that her concerns are genuine and that she is only trying to highlight the plight of ordinary people who are suffering due to the government’s policies. She has also argued that the government’s approach to dealing with terrorism is flawed and that it is only leading to more suffering for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The death of Tariq Ahmed has once again highlighted the complexities of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, where the conflict between India and Pakistan has led to widespread suffering and instability. The incident has also sparked a heated debate over the role of the Army and the government in the region.
While the BJP has dismissed Mufti’s allegations as baseless and political, many have questioned the government’s handling of the situation. The incident is a grim reminder of the human cost of the conflict and the need for a peaceful and negotiated solution to the crisis.
As the situation in Jammu and Kashmir continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how the government and the opposition will respond to the allegations of foul play. Will Mufti’s claims be investigated, or will they be dismissed as political rhetoric? Only time will tell.
