Senior BJP leader and former minister Anurag Thakur remarked on Monday that Pakistan has compromised its own stability while attempting to harm India. Speaking to the media in Jammu, he emphasized that while no one wishes for a neighboring country to become a failed state, Pakistan has brought such circumstances upon itself.

Thakur also called for the identification and deportation of Rohingya immigrants residing in Jammu and Kashmir.

In response to inquiries regarding the controversy surrounding USAID funding, the BJP leader asserted that it has “fully exposed” those colluding with foreign entities to undermine democracy in India. He claimed that senior Congress leaders have been linked to US billionaire investor George Soros as part of a scheme to displace the BJP from power, highlighting concerns that foreign powers aim to weaken the Indian government and its democratic processes.

Discussing border tensions, Thakur assured that Pakistan would face appropriate consequences for its provocations. He stated, “If Pakistan continues its malicious activities, our forces are well-equipped to address them, as they have in the past.”

When asked about Prime Minister Modi’s decision to nominate Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah among ten individuals to address obesity, Thakur expressed that this initiative would promote health awareness among the nation’s 1.4 billion people and alleviate pressure on healthcare services.

He welcomed the formation of a new political party by former leaders of the banned Jamaat-e-Islami in Kashmir, stressing the importance of their role in advocating for the return of displaced Kashmiri Pandits.

Later, Thakur participated in a ‘Budget Pe Charcha’ organized by Mookerjee Samriti Nyas, where he provided an in-depth analysis of the Budget 2025. He noted that former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi raised taxes and cesses to 97% of income, fostering a culture of tax evasion. He criticized the Congress party’s governance for enabling the hoarding of black money, contrasting this with the current Modi government’s efforts to circulate wealth by lowering taxes.

He highlighted the new tax-free income slab of up to 12 lakhs, detailing its advantages for a significant portion of the Indian taxpayer base, and emphasized that this measure would enhance consumer spending power and subsequently benefit various sectors, from services to manufacturing.
