The Bharatiya Janata Party's national general secretary, Tarun Chugh, launched a fierce critique against Congress on Wednesday, demanding clarity on their position regarding Article 370 amid the National Conference's push for restoring Kashmir's special status.

Chugh accused NC, led by Omar Abdullah, of following a Pakistan-driven agenda, claiming that Congress's silence implies alignment with Pakistan's ideology. He urged Congress leaders Rahul, Sonia, and Priyanka Gandhi to clarify their stance to the public.

Chugh stressed the BJP's commitment to Kashmir's security and development, condemning NC-Congress strategies that, he said, encourage separatism and terrorism. He called for prioritizing Kashmir's progress over divisive politics.
