Ahmedabad, 28 April, 2014

The BJP’s PM candidate Narendra Modi on Monday hit back at union minister Farooq Abdullah, saying he, his father and his son have communalised Kashmir.

Abdullah, at a rally on Sunday, had said “those who vote for Modi should drown in sea”.

“I want to tell Farooq Abdullah that the biggest attack on secularism has happened in Kashmir,” the Gujarat chief minister said in a video message.

“I want to tell Farooq Abdullah, that secularism is in our blood, not just in our constitution,” he said.

“India never differentiates between people of different religions. That is our culture,” he said.
“The biggest attack on secularism happened in Kashmir and it happened because of the politics of your father (Sheikh Abdullah),” he said.

“What you have said about drowning ourselves does not bring you glory. It is your family that destroyed secularism. The biggest injury to secularism has happened in Kashmir under your father’s regime. You are responsible to have forced migration of Kashmiri Pandits from Kashmir,” he said.

“If someone has to drown, look at the mirror,” he said.
