"NC President should not make irresponsible statements", says Kavinder Gupta

While speaking to ANI, BJP leader Kavinder Gupta criticised Farooq Abdullah over his statement and said no one is saying that Omar Abdullah's government is being destabilized. He should not make such irresponsible statements.

"A responsible person should not make such statements. Peace is maintained in Jammu and Kashmir due to the work of agencies. No one said that Omar Abdullah's government is being destabilized. Many times such attempts are made by external forces. It is because of the security forces that the policy of zero tolerance is being implemented. This is absolutely wrong statement. He (Farooq Abdullah) should not make such irresponsible statements", he said.

Earlier today, NC President Farooq Abdullah demanded an investigation in the Budgam terror attack and said that he has a doubt that is it done by the people who were trying to destabilise the government in Jammu and Kashmir.

"It should be investigated. How is it that the government has come and this is happening? I have a doubt that is it done by the people who were trying to destabilise the government...If they (terrorists) are caught then we will get to know who is doing this. They should not be killed, they should be caught and asked who is behind them...We should check if there is an agency who is trying to destabilise Omar Abdullah," Farooq Abdullah told ANI.
