Srinagar: PDP patron Mufti Mohammed Sayeed has advised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that it should not indulge in divisive language and actions and said it must not ignore the message of Delhi's voters.
“BJP must not ignore the message of the voters in Delhi. The Delhi elections have asserted the diversity of our country and the need to respect it," Mufti Mohammed Sayeed said yesterday after Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)'s thumping victory.
The leader said that AAP deserves the heartiest congratulations for its spectacular performance.
He said AAP has truly touched the right chord among various sections of people living in the metropolitan culture of Delhi, and in a way its resounding success indicates the real aspiration of the people who want to live life of dignity away from discord and disruption.
Mufti further said that the Delhi election result asserts the diversity within the country.
"While it was heartening to see the people belonging to different sections of the society closing their ranks to give democracy a push, the BJP would do well to rein in the elements that had started feeling free to indulge in a divisive language and actions," he said.
Mufti said the results were a reminder that India is a country of diverse religious and cultural strains and the ‘people of the capital restated the fact emphatically'.
He also asked the BJP, which has emerged as the most prominent force in the country in the last general elections, to introspect and absorb Delhi's message with humility.
The BJP and PDP are in talks over formation of a coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir.
