New Delhi, Apr 19: BJP today rejected the healing touch policy of the Mufti Mohammed Sayeed government in Jammu and Kashmir to tackle terrorism. "Healing touch should be for those who want to lay down arms and join the mainstream and not for terrorists. BJP would under no circumstances accept the policy of healing touch. It should be only for victims of terrorists and not those carrying arms," party president M Venkaiah Naidu told a meeting of organising secretaries of state and district units of the party at the conclusion of a four-day workshop here. Hitting out at the Congress for boycotting the meeting yesterday addressed by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in Srinagar, he said, "The Prime Minister belongs to the country. There should be no enmity in politics. Who is the number one enemy, it is Pakistan. Congress is only our political rival while Left is our ideological rival."
Welcoming announcements by Vajpayee for Jammu and Kashmir, he said, "Whatever government is in Jammu and Kashmir, centre should help in development of state by rising above party lines."
