| Kamaal's foot in his mouth, says Congress | | | Early Times Report
srinagar, Jan 1: Taking strong exception to the statements issued by Mustafa Kamaal, additional general secretary National Conference, Congress today said his (Kamaal) one foot is always in his mouth.
"I reject the statement of Kamaal on views experienced by Ghulam Nabi Azad, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare. As the general public here realizes that Azad did not say anything which was factually incorrect," said Muzaffar Parray, senior vice president of Congress in Jammu and Kashmir.
Parray added that Azad had talked about the feeling of general workers of the Congress in the state and there is hardly anything wrong to which Kamaal could have taken exception. "Statement of Kamaal is in line with what he has been asked to do by National Conference. He has been given the job at which he is trying to do his bit, albeit, distastefully. Kamaal forgets matters like Indus Water Treaty which could have been raised and tackled by his father at least in his tenure in 1975 onwards or for that matter, Dr Farooq during his three stints as the Chief Minister of the State."
The senior State Congress leader remarked: "Public opinion is that Kamaal's one foot is always in his mouth. Otherwise, how he could have talked against Army as National Conference MLA who is under oath to abide by the Constitution of India in letter and spirit," he added. Parray also castigated Kamaal for his statement on 'taxes and tariffs' and Government of India's funding to Jammu and Kashmir, saying that Kamaal is mathematically wrong as Jammu and Kashmir is extremely a deficit state. |
