Rebel’s revelation puts Farooq, Omar in quandary
NC was about to go for alliance with BJP after 2014 polls: Former NC Chief Spokesman
4/14/2021 11:46:59 PM
EARLY TIMES REPORT

JAMMU, Apr 14: Six years after the PDP-BJP bonhomie in Jammu and Kashmir took place post 2014 assembly polls, a senior National Conference functionary has made a startling revelation that BJP was in talks with Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah for the formation of government in the erstwhile state.
Senior NC leader and former chief spokesman of the party, Aga Ruhullah Mehdi in an interview with New Delhi based news portal has claimed that the saffron party was holding confabulations with the NC patriarch and former chief minister Omar Abdullah over the formation of the next government in Jammu and Kashmir.
“This is not the first time I have expressed dissent within the party. Go back to 2014, when the Bharatiya Janata Party approached the National Conference for an alliance after 2014 assembly elections, it was I who vociferously objected to it. Thankfully, good sense prevailed and NC didn’t go with an alliance with BJP,” Ruhullah who besides a politician also is a Shia cleric in central Kashmir’s Budgam district.
Such a claim has exposed the dark secret about how National Conference was at the verge of forming the next government in Jammu and Kashmir with the BJP and rule the erstwhile state for the next six years.
Meanwhile, the open dissent expressed by him against the party leadership has hinted at a major breakdown in the offing within the national conference and that he has claimed that the party has been sidelining him deliberately ever since he raised alarm bells within its ranks.
“I am the member of all important decision making bodies of the National Conference. But unfortunately or by some design, none of those committees have sat since August 5, 2019. The only opportunity that I got to deliberate with the party leadership and members was during a political affairs committee meeting last year after the release of the political leaders of the party. Coming to the deliberations of the Gupkar Alliance, it should be surprising for many that I have never been called for any meeting of the Gupkar Alliance until now. Frankly, I am not surprised,” Ruhullah was quoted as having said in the interview.
This NC rebel was the first to raise the voice, terming the party's core ideology and its present stand on Kashmir’s special status frighteningly misplaced.
“‘Revisit’ domicile law? Lift curbs on the Internet? …If I am not reading wrong, you are basically asking for 4G and THEIR ‘PERMISSION’ to let us start the political process? & then all is well?”
“What is a political process for you? Only an election? If we go with a reason and stand our course, even being detained is a part of the political process. Sorry, it’s insulting to ask them to ‘let us’,” Mehdi said.
