| Farooq, Beg tear into Omar Govt, attribute defeat to 'kuttey and kameeney' men | | Revolt in NC | | Neha
JAMMU, June 12: NC president and former Union Minister Farooq Abdullah and former Lok Sabha MP Mehboob Beg, who were humiliated by the people of Kashmir in the Lok Sabha election, are extremely angry these days.
They are so angry that they are lambasting and denouncing their own men in the party as well as the Omar Abdullah Government. They are attributing their ignominious defeat at the hands of the PDP candidates to their own men in the party as well as the state Government.
On Wednesday, two developments took place at two different places and both indicated the extent to which the defeat has rattled Farooq Abdullah and Mehboob Beg. The occasion was the same: Death anniversary of Mohammad Afzal Beg. One development took place at Srinagar and the other at Anantnag. The occasion was solemn, but Farooq Abdullah and Mehboob Beg used it to spew venom.
At Srinagar, it was Farooq Abdullah who targeted his own men and the Government of his son, who is also the party's working president, and held them squarely responsible for his defeat as well as the defeat of Beg and Shairf-ud-Din Shariq. He used all kinds of invectives and epithets for his party men. In fact, he said "kameeney", and "kuttey" men in his party led to his defeat, as also to the defeat of other party candidates in the Lok sabha election. "While I was in Delhi, these mischievous, chaploos (sycophants), kameeney (mean), kuttey (dogs) continued to mislead me about the ground situation in Kashmir.
They told me everything was going well in favour of National Conference. They hid from me the ground realities and which later led to our defeat. I am not going to leave them and I will shunt them out from the party," he said at a function on the death anniversaries of NC leaders Mirza Mohammad Afzal Beg, father of Mehboob Beg and Ghulam Mohiuddin Shah at party headquarters.
At Anantnag, it was Mehboob Beg who lambasted many NC leaders. Actually, he raised a banner of revolt and charged NC leaders with "ruining the party for their own vested interests". "Anti-people policies perpetuated by the NC led to its rout in the recent Lok Sabha polls," he said adding that it was such naked nepotism that created mistrust between the people and the party and led to the debacle. "Defeat of NC was imminent as the party pursued anti-people policies and could not live up to the expectations of the masses…Our own party leaders are responsible for destroying the NC for their vested interests," he actually said while addressing the party workers who had gathered to commemorate the 32nd death anniversary of Mirza Mohammad Afzal Beg. It is obviously that Farooq Abdullah and Mehboob Beg hinted at Omar Abdullah, Nasir Aslam Wani, Devendra Singh Rana and others of their ilk, who reigned supreme in the party. After all they were the men who used to discuss the party affairs with Farooq Abdullah. They had sidelined the old guards and brought to the forefront those who had no mass experience. However, it would have been better had Farooq Abdullah also said that he committed a grave blunder in 2002 by abdicating his authority in favour of his son. Had he been in the driver's seat in the state the story of the NC would have been somewhat different. He must share the responsibility for the defeat of his party. |
