The BJP on Thursday (November 20, 2025) asked J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to organize an all-party rally against terrorism at Srinagar’s Lal Chowk “to send a stern message”.
“Condemnation and condolence alone were not enough. The Union Territory must send a clear message that every individual in J&K stands firm against militancy. Political differences can wait, but the fight against terror cannot be delayed,” BJP spokesperson Altaf Thakur said.
Referring to the Red Fort blast that left 13 civilians dead, Mr. Thakur said, “J&K should send a loud, united message that every individual in UT stands against terrorism in all its shapes and forms.”
He said all parties, communities and citizens should walk side by side for peace and dignity in the valley. “Terror has no religion, no region and no place in our society. A united voice from Lal Chowk will reverberate across the country and strengthen the fight for a terror-free J&K,” Mr. Thakur said.
The BJP’s statement came a day after CM Abdullah alleged that all Kashmiris were “portrayed as suspects after the Red Fort blast”. He also hinted that he is also afraid to drive around New Delhi in a J&K numbered vehicle.
