| Soz was in slumber when NC played retirement age card | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 6: Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister, Makhan Lal Fotedar today said that the State Congress president Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz he had no idea what was happening on the ground when Chief Minister Omar Abdullah held a meeting with state employees and made a declaration about the enhancement of retirement age.
"Soz was not alert and I think he was in deep slumber when National Conference made an announcement and tried to take credit of that important decision," Fotedar said adding that all the important decisions are taken by the Cabinet of which Congress is a part, "so it is obvious the credit should go to Coalition Government and not a single party for any decision that is taken in the State of Jammu of Kashmir."
Responding to a query, Fotedar said that there is political uncertainty in Jammu and Kashmir and hence it is difficult for Congress party to decide with which party it is going to forge an alliance. "The Parliament election results indicated that National Conference has lost ground in all the three divisions of the state and thus we can't say with authority that this party will form the next ground. It is not only the National Conference, which has lost ground, but the negative results for Congress party in Jammu were unexpected. Keeping in view the present scenario, it is difficult to predict which party or parties will form the next Government," he said.
Fotedar said that the biggest shock for Congress party was the defeat of Ghulam Nabi Azad from Doda-Udhampur Constituency. "Congress party in state is yet to come out from that shock. The party will certainly chalk out future strategy once things get better and smooth," he said.
Replying to a question, Fotedar said that it will not be Farooq Abdullah or any other person who can decide the fate of the youth arrested on the charges of stone-pelting. "Only law of the land can grant general amnesty to these youth who have been detained on charges of violence. It is not in the hands of Farooq Abdullah or National Conference but only law can decide it," he said. |
