Photo: Ramesh Pathania/MintJammu: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday accused the opposition National Conference (NC) of trying to create a “fear psychosis” among the people of Jammu over the issue of Article 35A of the Constitution. He is creating a fear psychosis,” BJP state spokesperson Anil Gupta said. It is a direct attack on the composite culture and communal tolerance of the people of Jammu, the BJP spokesman added. The Supreme Court had last month asked the Centre to file a reply within three weeks to a writ petition filed by an NGO seeking that Article 35A be struck down. The BJP spokesperson asked if the NC leadership was so sure of the legal correctness of Article 35A, why are they resorting to agitational politics and provoking the Kashmiris?
