He also said that the present government at the Centre wants to divert the people’s attention from main issues to other problems.
Slamming the government further, Dhar questioned, “If the government wants the betterment of J&K, then why has it banned mobile and internet services in the state?”
He further said that by destroying Jammu and Kashmir, the government has destroyed democracy.
“Moreover, there is a threat that the country is going to be under a fascist regime,” Dhar alleged.
“To fulfil its dream of converting India to a Hindu nation, the BJP has revoked Article 370 and 35 (A) in Jammu Kashmir,” alleged CPI(M) state secretary Goutam Das.
