| Party strong, no place for controversies in NC: Sheikh Nazir | | | Early Times Report srinagar, Feb 6: Dismissing reports that there were strong differences and lack of discipline in the party, National Conference General Secretary Sheikh Nazir Ahmad said there was no place for controversies in the party. "National Conference is not just a strong party but a movement in itself. There is no question of controversies or indiscipline, however, some people with ulterior motives are hell bent upon lobbying against the party", the NC stalwart said. Nazir said NC was committed to restoration of autonomy. "We are fighting for it in whatever way we can", he said. Sheikh blamed New Delhi for creating impediments in the way of restoration of autonomy to the State. In response to a question as to why the party was still holding on to the coalition despite Congress' opposition to restoration of autonomy to the State, he said running the State Government in coalition is a "compulsion". Lambasting people for criticizing the role of late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah in accession of the State to India, the NC General Secretary said the accession was done by Maharaja Hari Singh and not Sheikh Abdullah. "It is Hari Singh who went for accession of the State with India. Even attack by Pakistan on the State was unjustified. Why did they attack the State?", he asked. He said late Sheikh had committed his life to the people of the State and went through a lot of troubles for the well being of the people. "We should not forget land to tiller policy and eradication of feudal system which was achieved by Sheikh Abdullah", he added. |
