Jammu, August 12: The BJP today accused the opposition National Conference of trying to create a fear psychosis among the people of Jammu over the issue of Article 35A of the Constitution.
It alleged that the NC was responsible for promoting majoritarianism at the cost of minorities in the state.
The party was reacting to a statement by the Jammu provincial president of the NC, Devinder Rana, on the issue of Article 35A of the Constitution, which defines the residency laws in Jammu and Kashmir and bars outsiders from buying any immovable property or applying for jobs in the state government.
The BJP spokesperson asked if the NC leadership was so sure of the legal correctness of Article 35A, why are they resorting to agitational politics and provoking the Kashmiris?
