| Bhim admits protesting Sarpanch was his nephew | | Calls Omar politically naive | | Early Times Report
SAMBA, Nov 8: Responding to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's claim that Ramnagar Sarpanch who jeered Rahul Gandhi's speech belonged to National Panthers Party, chief patron NPP, Prof Bhim Singh today admitted that the said Sarpanch Parikshit Singh was his nephew and he had gone to attend the rally so that he could draw the attention of Gandhi towards the mess created by the State Government in Panchayati Institutions.
"Yes, he was my nephew and he is the Sarpanch of our party. It was a general rally and like others Parikshit also went there and expressed his concerns," Bhim Singh told adding that there was no politics in it.
Singh said that even Rahul snubbed Omar by saying that protestor was right and Panchayats should be empowered in the State. "Omar Abdullah showed political immaturity by blaming NPP for his defamation while Rahul paid him back in the same bowl. What the Chief Minister was expecting from Gandhi when he said that it was NPP Sarpanch who raised hue and cry. Was Rahul so immature that he could not have information about the protesting Sarpanch?," Singh asked.
He further said that Panchayati Raj in Jammu and Kashmir is in shambles and all the village representatives are toothless. "These Panches and Sarpanches are repenting and cursing themselves why they contest these elections," he said. |
