NC’s silence on Mehbooba’s house arrest irks PDP!

Early Times Report

Srinagar, Sept 24: The Peoples Democratic Party has been allegedly irked by the “silence” of the National Conference Member Parliaments over “continued arrest” of PDP President Mehbooba Mufti.
Sources said the PDP has expressed dismay over the “silence” of the NC MPs in the Parliament during the Parliament session over the issue of detention of the woman leader.
Sources said the PDP leadership had got it conveyed to senior NC leader Omar Abdullah that his father and MP Dr Farooq Abdullah’s silence on Mehbooba was “shocking and shameful”.
Sources said the PDP leaders are understood to have conveyed it to Omar that through his aides that “NC has duped other parties through its moodswings.”
“If the NC MPs couldn’t raise the issue of our leader what can be expected from such a party of double speak,” a source quoted PDP as having said.
Sources said the issue has snowballed into a big controversy and that may affect the apparent bonhomie between the twin parties based in Kashmir.
“One thing is clear the kind of cordial relations which the two parties had created for the last around a year are going to end soon,” said a senior politician in the know of the matter.
It was reliably learnt PDP publicly hailed MPs from other parties for raising the issue of Mehbooba’s detention only to taunt NC.
It is pertinent to mention that the Twitter handle of Mehbooba Mufti presently being run by her daughter had thanked one MP from Bengal for having raised the issue of PDP President’s detention.
“The tweets of thanks were actually a taunt on the NC especially Omar who is all active on the social media,” said one analyst on the condition of anonymity.
Despite repeated attempts, the leaders of the two parties were not available for comments.
