Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to weaken the National Conference (NC) amid controversy surrounding Aga Ruhullah and his reported resignation.

Reacting to the developments, Choudhary referred to remarks attributed to BJP leader Ram Madhav, who allegedly claimed that people attending an event organised by Ruhullah had been sent by the BJP. Choudhary questioned why the National Conference was being asked to explain the matter and directed such questions towards BJP leaders.

Choudhary Questions BJP's Alleged Role

Choudhary said his party had consistently maintained that the BJP was attempting to dismantle the National Conference.

Referring to the reported statement by Ram Madhav, he asked why the issue was being directed towards the NC and suggested that BJP leaders, including Sunil Sharma, should be questioned about the claims.

The Deputy Chief Minister's remarks reflected his allegation that the BJP was involved in the political developments surrounding Ruhullah. The claims were not independently verified in the statement provided.

He also referred to the reported remarks attributed to Ram Madhav as an indication of Ruhullah's alleged association with the BJP, questioning how Ruhullah could be considered part of the National Conference under those circumstances.

The statement did not include a response from Ruhullah or the BJP to Choudhary's allegations.
