The chief minister wanted to know who the emissaries were and what offer they made as the BJP's position on Article 370 of the Constitution, which guarantees special status to Jammu and Kashmir, and Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) was known, he said.
“Given BJP's position on Art370 & AFSPA can we know who these NaMo emissaries were & what was on offer? Why the secrecy?” he wrote.
Geelani had yesterday claimed that Modi had sent emissaries to him to create a “soft corner” by making a commitment to seek a solution to the Kashmir issue.
However, BJP termed Geelani's claims as “mischievous” and without any basis, saying no emissary has either tried to meet or had met Geelani to discuss the Kashmir issue.
“The party has time and again condemned the negative role played by leaders such as Geelani whose politics is a threat to the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” BJP said and demanded that Geelani apologise for the “false” statement.
