Mufti Alleges Foul Play After OGW Jumps in J&K River, Drowns; BJP Slams Her
In a shocking incident that has raised eyebrows in Jammu and Kashmir, an overground worker (OGW) allegedly jumped into a river in Kulgam district and drowned. The incident has sparked a heated controversy, with former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti alleging foul play and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hitting back at her.
According to reports, the OGW, who was identified as a resident of Kulgam, was picked up by the Army two days ago. However, he managed to escape and jumped into the river, where he drowned. The locals have alleged that the Army was involved in his disappearance and eventual death.
Reacting to the incident, Mehbooba Mufti, who is the president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), tweeted that the incident was a “clear case of foul play” and demanded a thorough investigation. She also claimed that the locals have alleged that the OGW was picked up by the Army two days ago, which suggests that the Army was involved in his disappearance.
“Misusing power and funds, the Centre and the Governor’s administration are making Kashmir a hub for human rights violations. The tragic death of the OGW in Kulgam is a clear case of foul play. We demand a thorough investigation into this incident and those responsible must be held accountable,” Mehbooba Mufti tweeted.
However, the BJP has slammed Mehbooba Mufti’s remarks, calling them “baseless” and “false”. BJP leader Sanju Verma, in a tweet, said that Mehbooba Mufti’s statement was “unfortunate” and “unwarranted”.
“Mehbooba, after the Pahalgam terror attack, said, ‘Why blame Pakistan?’ Now, she is accusing the Army of foul play without any evidence. This is unfortunate and unwarranted. We demand an apology from her for spreading false and baseless information,” Sanju Verma tweeted.
The controversy has once again highlighted the deep-seated political differences between the ruling BJP and the opposition PDP in Jammu and Kashmir. The BJP has been accusing Mehbooba Mufti of being soft on terrorism and of having close ties with Pakistan, while the PDP has been accusing the BJP of human rights violations and of using force to suppress dissent.
The incident has also raised questions about the fate of the OGW, who was allegedly picked up by the Army two days ago. The Army has not yet commented on the incident, but the Jammu and Kashmir Police have launched an investigation into the matter.
The incident is a chilling reminder of the fragile security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, where militants and separatists are active and the government is struggling to maintain law and order. The incident has also raised concerns about the human rights situation in the region, where there have been reports of human rights violations by security forces.
In conclusion, the incident is a complex and sensitive issue that requires a thorough investigation to determine the truth behind the OGW’s death. While Mehbooba Mufti has alleged foul play, the BJP has slammed her remarks as baseless and false. The controversy has once again highlighted the deep-seated political differences between the ruling BJP and the opposition PDP in Jammu and Kashmir.
