NC MLA Aga Ruhullah calls Modi ‘killer of Muslims’

‘Nobody expected PDP to impose these killers as rulers in the Muslim majority State of J&K’

Jammu, March 19: Former Minister and National Conference’s three-time MLA from Budgam Aga Syed Ruhullah on Thursday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his BJP as the “killers of the Gujarati Muslims” and launched scathing attacks on Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s Peoples Democratic Party for “collaborating with BJP” in securing power in Jammu and Kashmir.

“At least in this Muslim-majority State [of Jammu and Kashmir] nobody expected PDP to collaborate with BJP in assuming power. Nobody expected them to tie their knot to the Muslim-killer, Gujarat-killer Modi and his BJP, the people who brought the unborn babies out of the wombs of their mothers to kill them. Everybody thought that these people may grab power in any other Indian State but not in this Muslim-majority State where they deserved to be condemned. These are the people who use the obnoxious words like "Ramzade aur doosre zade". These are the people who say brazenly that mosques are not the places of worship and that these could be demolished anytime”, Ruhullah grumbled on the floor of the House while speaking over Governor’s address.

“Nobody imagined that PDP would be hand-in-glove with these people in grabbing for them power in this State. Everybody aspired that the killers would be dismissed as killers at least in this State where Muslims, unlike other States, are under no fear for being in majority. What was their weakness here? What made them endorse the politics of the killers and bring them as rulers here?”, Ruhullah went on amid pandemonium from the vociferous BJP MLAs.

BJP’s associate member and Minister of State Pawan Gupta, MLA Ravinder Raina and others staged a strong protest against Ruhullah’s remarks, stressing on Speaker Kavinder Gupta to fully expunge the NC MLA’s “un-Parliamentary speech”. “Modi is the Prime Minister of this country. He has been elected as Head of Government by a massive majority of the country’s electorate. We will not allow anybody to "denigrate the country’s Prime Minister in this House and the State”, Raina said. He demanded Ruhullah withdraw his statement and tender an apology in the House.

Even as the BJP MLAs claimed that the Speaker had assured them expunction of the NC MLA’s “objectionable remarks” about Prime Minister and BJP, no such statement was released from his office till late on Thursday. Secretary Assembly Mohammad Ramzan did not respond to repeated calls from mediapersons.

‘NO QUESTION OF COMPROMISE on 370, AFSPA’

Speaking to mediapersons later outside the House, Raina asserted that BJP would in no circumstances do any compromise on its stand on Article 370 or the Jammu and Kashmir Armed Forces Special Powers Act. “Let it be clear to one and all that BJP will never enter into dialogue with any separatists until they accept the sovereignty and integrity of this country. We can talk to anybody but strictly within the ambit of the Constitution”, Raina said.

The BJP legislator from Nowshehra castigated the NC and the Congress leaders for dragging RSS into every controversy in J&K. “It’s highly deplorable that these people are dragging the Sangh into political mess. Sangh (RSS) is a purely social organisation which is independently doing its job of social reform”, he said.
