Congress junior partner: NC 8/17/2014 11:32:21 PM Early Times Report Srinagar, Aug 17: The National Conference today launched a scathing attack on its coalition partner Congress by calling it as 'junior partner' in the government and asking it not to dictate terms. Reacting to the allegations of "corruption" and "misgovernance" leveled by the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee Chief Prof Saifuddin Soz, the NC senior leader Dr Sheikh Mustafa Kamal while talking to Srinagar based news agency said: "Despite Congress having mere 17 members in the assembly, we accepted it. The party should not transgress its limits." Kamal said the remarks made by Soz over Pahrais and OBCs of the state are unfortunate as the Congress during the five and a half years of rule never raised such issues and when Omar has taken the measures for their development, the Congress seems hell-bent upon taking the 'undue' credit. "The fact is that what Congress is doing it out of frustration as it has faced rout in state and across India," Kamal said. Kamal who is also the uncle of the chief minister said that party has given free choice to Omar to contest from anywhere in the state and that Omar at present is the face of Abdullah family. "Omar is free to contest from any assembly segment wherever from he wants and wishes." Kamal also maintained that he is ready to contest the upcoming state elections and it is well within the powers of the party whether they allow him to contest or not. "Yes, as far as I as a person is concerned- I am ready to contest the polls. What is wrong with me that you say I am not interested in entering into poll fray? If the party wants me to fight the polls, I will."   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
