| Omar spews salvo aganist PDP | | NC SAYS 'NOT INTERESTED' IN FORMING COALITION WITH CONGRESS | |
Srinagar, Sept 06: President of the largest mainstream political group–National Conference, Omar Abdullah on Wednesday hurled choicest accusations on the People's Democratic Party, the rival group, of hoodwinking people of strife-torn Jammu and Kashmir by "deliberately keeping vague the actual meaning of their borrowed self-rule slogan." Regarding the expose of fissures within the coalition government after Muzaffar Baig's ouster from the cabinet and as the legislature leader of PDP, Omar said National Conference was "not interested in forming a coalition with the ruling Congress just in case the coalition collapses in wake of the recent crisis".
"Our party was never interested (in forming coalition with the Congress). May be if I had met Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi things may have been different," the Member Parliament Mr Omar Abdullah told the news conference here at party headquarters, Nawa-i-Subah complex.
Launching a scathing attack on PDP leadership Mr Omar Abdullah said that the "hidden agenda behind much trumpeted PDP's self-rule proposal was recently exposed after deposed Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffar Hussain Baig termed it (self-rule) very much similar to that of NC's autonomy".
"If on one hand one of your top leaders says that self-rule and autonomy are two sides of the same coin then why are you befooling people? Make things clear to people and don't harp on vague slogans," he said.
"Double-speak won't fetch PDP anything instead it will invite wrath of people. Exploiting the sentiments by trumpeting vague slogans will prove counter-productive for the PDP," he added.
Launching himself into diatribe against the PDP Omar said it was time for the party to make her proposals clear to people. "What exactly is this self-rule? It has to be made clear to the public because it needs to be," he said.
