"PM Modi and Shah are the biggest enemies of people who believe in dividing the nation on basis of caste, creed, and religion. But the people have made it a point not to fall prey to the divisive agenda of the BJP," Mr. Abdullah said. The National Conference (NC) patron accused the BJP of trying to divert people's attention by propping up emotive issues.

“These people want to change the very framework of the Constitution of India, which grants equal rights and opportunities to everyone. It is the constitution of India which grants rights to profess any faith. It is the same constitution that confers upon our state certain constitutional safeguards. It is the same constitution which grants our state a special status by means of Art 35 A and Art 370. These people have always shown abhorrence for our special status and special constitutional position,” he said adding, “The other day BJP came up with its manifesto which explicitly reflects the hatred BJP boasts for the identity of our state. They have forcefully vowed to do away with the provisions of Art 370, Art 35 A in that manifesto,” he said.

Mr. Abdullah said the BJP manifesto reflects the BJP's hatred for the identity of the state. “Their sole agenda is to change the demography of our state, however, let me tell them that they are playing with fire. To meet this purpose they have employed various henchmen in our state, such cronies can be seen holding ink pot and apple in their hands. The sole aim of BJP and its cronies is to make nonstate subjects buy land and property in our state.” He said.
