Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, July 29: National Conference (NC) President Dr. Farooq Abdullah today took pot shots at Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) President, Mehbooba Mufti who was in tears during a rally marking the foundation day of the party on July 28 (Saturday).
The NC President said that there were no buyers for Mehbooba's 'crocodile' tears in Kashmir and her new 'theatrical drama' was aimed at covering her disastrous, unjust and corrupt tenure. Mehbooba had broken down while regretting the civilian killings in Kashmir during the summer agitation of 2016.
He made these observations while addressing a workers' convention at Khanyar and also at a function organized by Jammu & Kashmir Rural Development Society. Dr. Abdullah said that as chief minister Mehbooba behaved as 'chief tormentor' of Kashmiris and left no stone unturned to persecute the people of the state politically and economically.
"Mehbooba's latest theatrical performance amounts to adding insult to injury. Her crocodile tears have no takers in Kashmir. The people remember clearly how she clung on to power despite being sidelined and humiliated by her allies repeatedly over the course of the last four years and how she surrendered every aspect of the institution of the CM's office to the BJP," said NC President.
Dr. Abdullah said that youth of the state witnessed an unprecedented reign of persecution and harassment under her rule and her party went above and beyond the call of their duty to BJP in helping them inflict irreparable damage on the state's autonomy and special status.
"Where were Mehbooba's tears when young children were being blinded by pellets? At that time we saw a different face of Mehbooba and the PDP -a face of arrogance, ruthlessness and sadism. Had Mehbooba been guided by morality and empathy, she would have resigned as the chief minister long back and wouldn't have waited to be sacked so unceremoniously by the BJP without even informing her," said NC President.
Dr. Abdullah said PDP was a party that was foisted on the people through clandestine and covert machinations to fragment the voice of the people. He said that PDP was, is and will remain a 'Trojan Horse' that has been engineered within Jammu & Kashmir to weaken the state internally and to launch an assault on political dignity and rights of people living in Jammu & Kashmir.
The NC President said that his party has rendered innumerable sacrifices to fight for unity, integrity and dignity of the state and will continue to thwart all attempts to erode the state's special status. He said that the party will fight against all ploys to assault Article 35-A, and won't allow the powers to fiddle with the special status of Jammu & Kashmir.
The functions were also addressed by NC General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar, Additional General Secretary Dr. Sheikh Mustafa Kamal, Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani, senior leaders Mubarak Gul, Mian Altaf Ahmed, Shamim Firdous, Kafeel-ur-Rehman, Muhammad Sayeed Akhoon, Ali Muhammad Dar, Peer Afaq Ahmed and senior party functionaries. |
