Mufti govt 'talibanising everything': BJP

July 02, 2005 20:02 IST

Taking exception to Jammu and Kashmir [Images] Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed describing Hari Parbat as
'Koh-i-Maran', the Bharatiya Janata Party [Images] on Saturday accused the coalition government of supporting 'talibanisation'.

"The BJP is of the opinion that the Congress party is giving full support to the People's Democratic Party (of Mehbooba Mufti) that has been systematically destroying the symbols of historical importance and talibanising everything in Kashmir," state unit BJP vice president and spokesperson Hari Om told reporters in Jammu.

The BJP claimed to have 'definite information' that a few days ago, officials from the state and New Delhi [Images] held a meeting in Srinagar [Images] about a proposal to change names of some landmarks in the state.

Sayeed had on June 20 described Hari Parbat as 'Koh-i-Maran' and a ministerial colleague of his had called Shankaracharya Hill 'Sulaiman Teng', Hari Om said, adding that the BJP rejected outright Pradesh Congress Committee chief Peerzada Sayeed's assurance that there was no proposal to rename the two hills.
