Threats to Sikhs in Kashmir, a very serious matter: BJP

Jammu, August 23: Describing continuance of violence and threats to Sikhs in Kashmir as a very serious matter, senior BJP leader Chaman Lal Gupta today alleged that both central and state governments were failing to deal with anti-national elements.

“Total anarchy is prevailing in Valley for about two months but the leaders of the coalition of National Conference (NC) and Congress are playing a dubious role,” Gupta said here while interacting with party activists, including Sikhs, on the happenings in Kashmir and Sikhs being threatened there.

He said what was happening in Valley was not an isolated issue but part of the same game-plan which was occurring in certain parts of Afghanistan as also in Pakistan because of ‘Taliban type’ of extremism.

After forcing out Kashmiri Pandits, they are making Sikhs their target now, which is a serious matter, the former union minister said.
