A local BJP leader today appealed to party president Amit Shah to pull out of coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir alleging that PDP was "playing with dangerous ideas".
"I sincerely believe that you (Shah) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi would make an intervention in Jammu and Kashmir as quickly as possible and nothing would be more appropriate than that the BJP should come out of the coalition government," said Hari Om, who is political advisor to BJP's Jammu and Kashmir unit president Jugal Kishore Sharma.
Om shot off a letter to Shah, saying,"I want to bring to your notice that it is my considered view that the Mufti is playing with dangerous tools and dangerous ideas".
He was referring to yesterday's rally by separatist leaders in Kashmir Valley in which pro-Pakistan slogans were raised along with Pakistan flags.
"Allowing this type of situation to continue will be disastrous for the national interests and the BJP itself. The BJP must snap forthwith its ties with the PDP," he demanded.
"This is the only way to respect the mandate which people of Jammu have given to the BJP," he said.
