Akbar said there was a history of bloody violence in the state and many refugee camps have been made before as well. “For 14-15 years, Congress is ruling in the state. They have not tried to bring out a solution to this problem so far, because in politics of divide and rule, they get electoral benefit,” he said.
The BJP leader also targeted Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who had also blamed Modi, saying he should take another look at newspapers and find out now the victims are clearly blaming the state government. Cabinet Minister Kapil Sibal and Abdullah had said that Modi's speeches targeting illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in the region played a role in instigating violence against them. Abdullah had said that Muslims were targeted because Modi made a speech there and tried to “incite” people against the community. Sibal had accused BJP leaders of playing the “communal card” to garner votes.
“Whenever anything happens, Congress has only one person to blame - that is Modi. If our party's PM candidate raises his voice over an issue, which is illegal, then it becomes bad. So do we make illegal legal just because some people do harvest of votes?” Akbar asked, before asserting, “This is not the way our country will run. If it runs, it will be according to law.”
