Mufti Alleges Foul Play After OGW Jumps in J&K River, Drowns; BJP Slams Her
In a shocking incident, an overground worker (OGW) reportedly jumped into a river in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir and drowned, leading to allegations of foul play by former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. The incident has sparked a political row, with the BJP hitting back at Mufti for her remarks.
According to reports, the OGW, who was reportedly picked up by the Army two days ago, jumped into the river in Kulgam district on Monday. The deceased was identified as Ayoub Khan, a resident of Kulgam. The local police have launched an investigation into the incident.
Mehbooba Mufti, who is the president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alleged that the OGW was picked up by the Army two days ago and that locals alleged he was being tortured. She claimed that the incident was a result of foul play and demanded a thorough investigation.
“An OGW was picked up by the Army two days ago and yesterday, he was found drowned in the river. This is not an accident. The Army must clarify what happened,” Mufti said in a tweet.
However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has slammed Mufti’s remarks, saying that she has a history of making baseless allegations. BJP leader Sanju Verma said that Mufti’s remarks were an attempt to deflect attention from the recent Pahalgam terror attack.
“Mehbooba, after the Pahalgam terror attack, said, ‘Why blame Pakistan?’ Now, she is saying that the Army is involved in the death of an OGW. This is not an innocent remark. This is an attempt to spread disinformation,” Verma said.
The BJP leader also accused Mufti of being anti-national and said that her remarks were an insult to the Indian Army.
“Mehbooba Mufti’s words are an insult to our brave soldiers. She is anti-national and her words are an attempt to demoralize our forces,” Verma said.
The incident has sparked a political row, with both the PDP and the BJP trading charges. The PDP has demanded a thorough investigation into the incident and has accused the BJP of trying to suppress the truth.
“The BJP is trying to suppress the truth. The OGW was picked up by the Army two days ago and yesterday, he was found drowned in the river. The Army must clarify what happened,” a PDP spokesperson said.
The BJP, on the other hand, has accused the PDP of trying to politicize the incident and has demanded that Mufti withdraw her remarks.
“Mehbooba Mufti’s remarks are an attempt to politicize the incident. She should withdraw her remarks and apologize to the Indian Army,” a BJP spokesperson said.
The incident has also sparked concerns about the safety of OGWs in the Valley. The OGWs are civilians who work with militant groups and provide them with logistical support.
The incident has also raised questions about the role of the Army in the Valley. The Army has been accused of human rights abuses in the Valley, with many allegations of torture and custodial deaths.
The incident has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many people expressing shock and outrage over the incident. The hashtag #JusticeForAyoubKhan is trending on Twitter, with many people demanding justice for the deceased OGW.
In conclusion, the incident of the OGW jumping into a river and drowning in Kulgam district has sparked a political row, with both the PDP and the BJP trading charges. The PDP has alleged foul play and demanded a thorough investigation, while the BJP has slammed Mufti’s remarks and accused her of being anti-national. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of OGWs in the Valley and the role of the Army in the Valley.
