Srinagar, May 29: Ousted cabinet minister, Chaudhary Lal Singh on Tuesday asked the Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti, to quit politics, claiming that she has lost her “senses”.
Speaking to a Jammu-based TV channel, Singh appealed Mehbooba to handover the chair to “some able administrator”, as everything has gone “beyond her intellect now”.
“My Behnji (Mehbooba Mufti) should quit politics. She is furious. She doesn’t know what is going on in the state. As she is not in her senses, she should leave her chair and give a chance to someone else to head the state,” Singh said.
She advised the CM to “take rest” as “she has failed to fulfill her duties”.
“Now, they are two (indirectly questioning Tasaduq Mufti’s induction into cabinet). One shall take rest and another one shall be given a chance to run the affairs of the home and the state,” he said.
Indirectly, defending his brother Choudhary Rajinder Singh, who recently abused Mehbooba, Singh said the Chief Minister should have talked to him.
“She (CM) shall have called my brother, and he should have clarified or expressed remorse over what he said. Instead, they sent police after him and even went to the Home Ministry,” Singh said.
“When Home Ministry will not be there for you, (CM) what will you do then?” he questioned the CM.
The BJP State president, Ravinder Raina, and Choudhary Lal Singh have met with the BJP National President, Amit Shah, in New Delhi.
They briefed Shah on the party’s activities, including the cause of Rassana people, spearheaded by Lal Singh, holding mega rallies at various places.
Singh, who resigned from the cabinet after the controversy caused by his appearance in a pro-rapist rally held in Jammu, said they met BJP President Amit Shah and asked him to handover Kathua rape and murder case to CBI.
“He (Amit Shah) said that you have done nothing wrong and assured that he is with us,” he said.
Praising Shah, Singh said he talked to us with a “clear mind” and we will continue our protest till the government involves CBI in Kathua case.
“We will keep fighting, will chant Jai Dogra, Jai Dogra till our demands are not met,” he said.
“For Dogras and the people of Jammu, CBI probe is like a religious obligation.”
He said that their “fight” was against the government irrespective of who the ruling parties were.
“Is this government blind? Can’t they see how people in this scorching heat in Jammu are coming out in numbers and demanding CBI probe?” he said.
