In Kashmir, there is no space for people like Farooq, who speak one language in Delhi and another in Kashmir,\u201d Thakur said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He said that Farooq by praising China and by claiming that Chinese intervention can bring back Article 370, reflects his myopic vision and that he doesn\u2019t deserve to be in the parliament now. \u201cSitting in national capital and praising China tantamount to challenging the Indian sovereignty,\u201d Thakur said, adding that \u201cArticle 370 revocation is reversible and historic step taken by the BJP government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThose claiming that they will bring back Article 370 are day dreaming,\u201d said Thakur. He said that irony is that the person (Dr Farooq) who claims to be so vocal is not able to speak in the parliament on Article 370 and instead prefers silence. \u201cI recommend NC leaders to visit shrines and pay charity in favour of Dr Farooq so that he can open his mouth in the parliament,\u201d Thakur said adding that \u201cIt is better for Dr Farooq to resign.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He also said that since the fate of Gupkar declaration was known from day one, time has proved that in just two months, the declaration has died a silent death as there were no takers for it. \u201cThe move was to befool people but every single citizen of J&amp;K UT is mature enough and won\u2019t fall in the trap of regional parties especially NC.\u201d (PTK)<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar: Bhartiya Janata Party J&amp;K spokesman Altaf Thakur today said that National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah must go to Wuhan, China and contest polls there given the love-lost he has for the China.
