SRINAGAR, May 29: Following rout in Parliamentary elections across Kashmir, National Conference (NC) patron Dr Farooq Abdullah while castigating party youth wing today indicted to show doorway to old faces and make drastic changes in party portfolios from top to bottom. According to sources while chairing party youth introspection meet in which besides all the youth wing District President, youth Provincial President, Salman Sagar son of Ali Mohammad Sagar, Younis Gul son of Mubarak Gul, party parent Provincial president, Nasir Aslam Wani, senior leaders Mohammad Syed Aakhoon and Sheikh Rehman were also present, Farooq Abdullah warned office bearers 'not to live in fool's paradise and expect portfolios given to people shall remain with them forever.
Sources said that Farooq Abdullah warned them 'not to use portfolios as per their will and taste as used to be previously' and asked them to be ready for a major change in the party portfolios in both parent and youth wing announced that everything will be scrutinized now onwards with utmost care to reach to the people ahead of upcoming Assembly elections.
Sources said that Farooq Abdullah made it clear to youth leaders that 'do not consider if anybody has his after, brother in the party and NC is his ancestral property' and while indicting to include new faces in the party, Farooq Abdullah patron announced that District bodies shall be re-organized in near future and he himself shall be monitoring the workout.
"Farooq Abdullah categorically said that it is not necessary that anybody who contested elections shall be repeated this time too and added that NC is nobody's ancestral property and added that time has come to take things seriously and work for the betterment of party," sources said
Some senior leaders who were not allowed by Farooq Abdullah to sit in the youth wing introspection meet informed Early Times that 'prevailing favoritism within party was the major cause of failure of NC in recently concluded Parliamentary elections in which senior leaders following particular lobbies within NC worked indirectly against their own candidates of the party across the Kashmir instead of supporting them as a unit.
"People like Salman Sagar are younger in age and junior to me in party, but since his father has particular lobby within NC he is enjoying a kind of Ministerial portfolio, I have nobody among my family members in the party and though worked for party whole heartedly, I hardly managed to secure a post under him some time ago," said a leader.
Leaders expelled from meeting said that keeping in view the future of NC in Jammu and Kashmir they have already informed party patron through their sources within party that they feel betrayed due to prevailing favoritism, they see no option except to switch over to other parties and while expressing pleasure over the steps taken by Farooq Abdullah in today's meeting to announce drastic changes in party portfolios, according to them such steps if taken positively can only give some oxygen to the party status which according to them otherwise seems reduced to have zero. |
