| Is Mehbooba cracking whip against another group of rebels? | | PDP’s unending fiasco | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Aug 25: Tensions refuse to die down within the PDP as notice has been served to few of its senior leaders reportedly for trying to side with the Muzaffar Beigh camp recently.
As per the reports coming to fore, few senior leaders of the PDP made hectic efforts in arranging a meeting under the chairmanship of party patron Muzaffar Hussain Beigh. The leaders in question even called several other party leader s telephonically informing them to attend the meeting at Beigh’s Srinagar residence on August 23. However, the leaders while trying to prove their loyalty to Mehbooba camp refused to attend the meet. It later had to be canceled as only a handful turned up.
Now, one more crisis within the party are unfolding as Mehbooba, as per the reports, is serving notice to those leaders of the party who tried to side with Beigh and sought limelight for him. As per the reports, there are high chances that a serious development is going to take place within the PDP in the very near future.
As per the reports coming to fore there has been tension within the ranks of the PDP over whether another rebellion like the situation is waiting to dominate the scenes. “It is a very troublesome situation for us as we don’t know who sides with Beigh and who sides with Mehbooba but there are few black sheep who are trying to create a rift by projecting Beigh as a saviour,” says a PDP functionary.
Mehbooba and Muzaffar Beigh aren’t reportedly in good terms with each other as Beigh trained guns against Mehbooba post abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. On January 9, this year, Beigh said former chief minister and party president Mehbooba Mufti’s “provocative” statement over Article 370 resulted in downgrading of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories. “The statement was made by Mehbooba Mufti in my absence. I was not there when she made it. I have on record said that the statement like it resulted in downgrading of the state (JK) into union territories,” Beigh, who is one of the founding members of the PDP and former deputy chief minister, told reporters at that time. He added the “threatening statement” to New Delhi should not have been made. “If Jammu and Kashmir has to live together and if we have to bat for our rights, we have to talk with decency and humility,” the PDP leader said.
Beigh criticized the “provocative” statement of Mufti and said one cannot “threaten” the top leadership in New Delhi to see one’s grievances being heard. “We cannot get anything by browbeating and threatening Modi ji, home minister or NSA. As citizens of India, we should put before them our grievances and our problems with humility,” he added. “We believe in that approach. It was a provocative statement and it should not have been made,” Beigh said on January 9. |
