Jammu: BJP today latched on to a media report claiming that National Conference (NC) was fueling the ongoing turmoil in Kashmir to demand a probe into the alleged role of the opposition party.
"The allegation (of involvement of some NC workers in fueling the unrest) is too serious and needs to be
investigated expeditiously and role of NC in fueling the current turmoil exposed," BJP state spokesperson Anil Gupta said here.
"NC is unable to digest the fact that it has been rejected by the people time and again as is evident from its shrinking number of seats and vote share. Even in the recent Anantnag by-poll, the NC candidate lost his security deposit despite having launched a venomous campaign against BJP-PDP alliance," he said.
The media report claimed that two NC workers were involved in arson and loot in South Kashmir following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter on July 8.
"NC has been thoroughly exposed and its role in the recent turmoil in Kashmir should be an eye-opener for the people of the state," Gupta said.
"This expose adds credence to the earlier apprehensions that for lust of power NC leadership has joined hands with the separatists in the Valley and was doing their bidding on all contentious issues to remain in the good book of the separatists," he added.
Forty-five people have been killed in clashes that broke out between protesters and security forces two weeks ago.
