Row over Prashant Bhushan's Kashmir remarks: 'AAP no longer an NGO or group of commentators'
New Delhi:
- "We don't agree with what Prashant Bhushan said about Kashmir, it's his personal view. Whatever the Army wants to do regarding deployment, there is no question of a referendum on it. We do not support Prashant Bhushan's statement."Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP Convenor 06/01/2014
- "Such ill-advised ideas must always be rejected outrightly. They can only disturb India's security environment and a disturbed environment disturbs politics, it disturbs sovereignty and it disturbs economy."Arun Jaitley, Senior leader, BJP 06/01/2014
- "AAP should wake up to the reality that they are a political party and no longer an NGO or commentators.""We are dealing with a very sensitive issue. When everyone agrees that the presence of Army has been critical in controlling terrorism, I advise AAP that they should realise that they cannot be irresponsible and make such statements."Sanjay Jha, Spokesperson, Congress 06/01/2014
- "Reduction of the footprint of security forces & phased revocation of AFSPA doesn't need a referendum, just a courageous statesman to decide. Governments get a mandate to govern & decide, they don't need to conduct a referendum before every tricky decision. Leaders must lead."Omar Abdullah, Chief Minister, Jammu and Kashmir 06/01/2014
