| Cong high command suggests PCC, NC to avoid confrontation | | | JAMMU, Oct 13: The Congress high command is said to have suggested to its party unit in Jammu and Kashmir and the National Conference leadership to avoid indulging in mudslinging against each other. Party sources said that the Congress high command has taken a serious note of series of fulminations against the Congress by a senior NC leader, Sheikh Mustafa Kamaal, and of the latest statement of the PCC chief, Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz. While doing so both the senior leaders of the state units of the Congress and the NC leadership have been asked to maintain cordial ties and avoid kicking up any controversy which could affect electoral gains of both the Congress and the NC in Jammu and Kashmir.
Party circles said that while accepting the demand of the state unit of the Congress for contesting the next Assembly election without any pre-poll alliance with the NC the Congress high command has advised its state unit not to create any situation that could warrant snapping of ties between the Congress and the NC.
The Congress high command is keen to allow the five-year old political arrangement to continue till the schedule of Assembly poll was announced and in this plan the Congress hopes to win the Lok Sabha elections with the help of its allies.
It is in this context that the Congress high command wants to maintain its ties with the NC which,it expects, could help the Congress to form a coalition Government at the centre after the Lok Sabha polls.Party circles said that though the Congress leadership in Delhi is opposed to snapping ties with the NC at the present juncture it has not closed the option for forging an alliance with the PDP if the need was felt in the centre. Despite inst ructions from the Congress high command the relations between the NC and the state unit of the Congress had touched a new low with the two sides raising accusing fingers against each other. |
