| NC blames Congress of pursuing ``rout the NC formula'' | | Coalition again on collision path | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 15: The joining of some NC leaders in Congress including Aslam Goni the former advisor to NC patriarch, Dr Farooq Abdullah yesterday had further strained the relations between the two coalition partners with former accusing the latter of violating coalition dharma and working on ``rout the NC formula''.
According to Party sources the decision of Congress to induct some of its disgruntled leaders into Party was backstabbing and violation of coalition dharma. Instead of strengthening NC to take on the divisive forces Congress was forgetting its role as a national party as it is trying to weaken the NC in the border State which is facing the turmoil for over last two decades.
Sources said some senior NC leaders while taking the serious view of the Congress gameplan have urged the Party president Dr Farooq Abdullah and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to come out of coalition as early as possible as the Congress with its policies was denting NC's image in the state in general and Kashmir Valley in particular.
Sources said the NC senior leader and brother of Dr Farooq Abdullah Dr Mustafa Kamaal and Party general secretary Sheikh Nazir have taken up the issue with both Dr Abdullah and Omar Abdullah soon after the announcement of Congress High Command its decision of inducting some disgruntled NC and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leaders into Congress
The duo alleged that the Congress has always played a dubious game right from 1953 when late Sheikh Abdullah was ousted from and in his place Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad was inducted. Later’ he too was dethroned and Shamus-ud-Din was installed for a short period of three months as Prime Minister in J&K. His dismissal was followed by induction of GM Sadiq and later Syed Mir Qasim was replaced by sheikh Abdullah.
The Congress again played a dubious game by defecting the NC and installing G M Shah as CM in 1984 ignoring the public sentiment in Valley, the sources said the NC leaders have intimated to father, son duo.
Sources said many NC leaders favour that Party should come out of coalition and concentrate on tis political constituency in Kashmir to improve its damaged image but the NC is itself into a dilemma that in case it will snap ties with Congress the PDP will take full advantage of the situation by tying up with Congress to keep the party out of power, sources added.
Sources said the Congress is keeping its cards close to its chest and it is giving shocks to both Valley based parties to keep them on tinter hooks till announcement of general elections. The Congress is also working on the theory that out of two valley based parties the party which obliges it most the Congress will tie up with that after elections. But first it will wait the outcome of elections, sources added.
However sources said that NC leadership while questioning the role of Congress said that instead of strengthening the Party to take on secessionist elements in Valley the Party is hell bent in eroding its public base in valley and such a gameplan of Congress was not in the national interests, sources added. |
