Mufti Alleges Foul Play After OGW Jumps in J&K River, Drowns; BJP Slams Her
Jammu and Kashmir politics took a dramatic turn recently when former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti alleged foul play in the death of an Over Ground Worker (OGW) who jumped into a river in Kulgam district and drowned. The incident has sparked a heated debate, with the BJP slaming Mufti’s allegations as baseless.
According to reports, the OGW, identified as Javed Ahmed, was found dead near a river in Kulgam district on Tuesday. The locals alleged that Ahmed was picked up by the Army two days ago, which has led Mufti to question the circumstances surrounding his death.
Taking to Twitter, Mufti wrote, “Heart-wrenching news from Kulgam! Locals tell me that the OGW who jumped into the river was picked up by the Army 2 days ago. Is this what passes off as ‘operation all out’?”
However, the BJP was quick to respond to Mufti’s allegations, with leader Sanju Verma saying, “Mehbooba, after the Pahalgam terror attack, said, ‘Why blame Pakistan?’ Now, she’s saying the Army is responsible for the death of an OGW. It seems like she’s trying to deflect attention from her own failures as a Chief Minister.”
The incident has once again highlighted the sensitive political climate in Jammu and Kashmir, where allegations of human rights abuses and militant activities are common. The Army has been accused of human rights violations in the past, including cases of fake encounters and custodial deaths.
Mufti’s allegations have raised questions about the Army’s role in the death of the OGW. While the Army has not commented on the matter, the allegations have sparked a heated debate in the political circles.
The Pahalgam terror attack, which Mufti referred to in her tweet, was a major incident that took place in 2018. A group of militants attacked a tourist bus in Pahalgam, killing two pilgrims and injuring several others. The attack was widely condemned by all political parties, including Mufti’s own Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The BJP, on the other hand, has been critical of Mufti’s handling of the situation. The party has accused her of being soft on terrorism and of failing to tackle the issue of militant activities in the state.
The incident has also raised questions about the role of Over Ground Workers in Jammu and Kashmir. OGWs are individuals who provide support to militant groups, often by providing them with shelter, food, and other resources. While some OGWs are caught and punished, others continue to operate with impunity, often with the support of local politicians.
The death of the OGW has sparked a heated debate about the role of politics in Jammu and Kashmir. While some have accused Mufti of trying to deflect attention from her own failures, others have questioned the Army’s role in the incident.
In conclusion, the incident has once again highlighted the sensitive political climate in Jammu and Kashmir. While Mufti’s allegations have raised questions about the Army’s role in the death of the OGW, the BJP has slammed her remarks as baseless. The incident has sparked a heated debate about the role of politics in Jammu and Kashmir, and the need to address the issue of militant activities in the state.
