Mufti Alleges Foul Play After OGW Jumps in J&K River, Drowns; BJP Slams Her
In a shocking incident, an overground worker (OGW) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district jumped into a river and drowned, sparking allegations of foul play by former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. The incident has sent shockwaves across the state, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) quick to slam Mufti’s remarks.
According to reports, the OGW, who was working for a local militant outfit, was picked up by the Army two days ago. However, sources close to the family claimed that the Army had dropped him off near the river, where he was seen jumping in and drowning.
Mufti, who was the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir from 2015 to 2018, took to Twitter to express her concern over the incident. “Shocking! Locals in Kulgam alleged that the OGW who drowned was picked up by the Army 2 days ago. What happened to him in those 48 hours?” she asked, hinting at possible foul play by the Army.
Her tweet sparked a heated debate, with many questioning the motives behind her allegations. However, the BJP was quick to slam Mufti’s remarks, with leader Sanju Verma saying, “Mehbooba, after the Pahalgam terror attack, said, ‘Why blame Pakistan?’ Now, she’s blaming the Army. Her politics of opportunism and appeasement has no bounds.”
Verma’s remarks were in reference to Mufti’s statement made after the Pahalgam terror attack in 2017, in which she had questioned the need to blame Pakistan for the incident. The BJP has long accused Mufti of being soft on terrorism and of using her political platform to appease separatist groups.
The incident has also raised questions about the presence of militant outfits in the region and the role of the Army in dealing with them. While the Army has not yet commented on the incident, local sources claim that the OGW was involved in militant activities and had been operating in the area for some time.
The incident has sent a wave of fear among locals, who are worried about the increasing presence of militant outfits in the region. The Jammu and Kashmir Police have launched an investigation into the incident, but the motives behind the OGW’s death remain unclear.
Mufti’s allegations have also sparked a debate about the role of the Army in dealing with militant activities in the region. While the Army has been instrumental in containing the spread of militant activities in Jammu and Kashmir, some critics have accused it of using excessive force and of being responsible for the deaths of innocent civilians.
The incident has also highlighted the need for more effective measures to deal with militant activities in the region. The Jammu and Kashmir government has launched several initiatives to contain the spread of militant activities, including the creation of a special task force to deal with the issue.
However, the incident has also raised questions about the effectiveness of these measures and the need for more sustainable solutions to deal with the issue. The Jammu and Kashmir government has also been criticized for its handling of the situation, with some accusing it of being too soft on militant groups.
In conclusion, the incident of the OGW jumping into a river and drowning has sent shockwaves across Jammu and Kashmir, with allegations of foul play dominating the headlines. While the motives behind the incident are unclear, it has raised questions about the presence of militant outfits in the region and the role of the Army in dealing with them. The incident has also sparked a debate about the need for more effective measures to deal with militant activities in the region and the need for more sustainable solutions.
