| PDP isolated on Parra's arrest | | Cracks widen in PAGD | | Early Times Report
jammu, Dec 9: The cracks in the so called Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) have only widened after the arrest of the senior Peoples Democratic Party, leader, Waheed Ur Rehman Parra in a terror case by the National Investigation Agency or NIA.
Sources said PDP has been feeling "isolated" since by the other constituents of the PAGD over Parra's arrest in a terror case.
Sources said the PDP has expressed serious concern over the silence of the Gupkar alliance on the arrest of Parra in the "midst of elections."
Sources said the PDP was expecting that the PAGD would call a joint press conference of all the constituent parties to condemn the arrest but that Mehbooba Mufti was left all alone in the times of crises.
Sources said the PDP has decided to send a "formal letter of disappointment" to the PAGD members as Mehbooba Mufti is facing "pressure from her party cadres over the isolation."
Sources said even though the PDP had sent "such feelers" to the PAGD that there was a need to jointly seek release of Parra, the other main constituents like National Conference and the Peoples Conference allegedly preferred silence of the issue.
Sources said it was only when the efforts of unity to condemn the arrest of Parra failed that Mehbooba was left with no options but to call a separate press conference on November 27.
Calling Kashmir an "open air prison" where no one has the right to express their opinion, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti had said that authorities had barred her from holding a press conference at her residence here where she claimed she was placed under house arrest.
She termed the arrest of Parra as witchhunt.
It is pertinent to mention that Parra was arrested by the NIA in the case registered against suspended Jammu and Kashmir Police DSP Davinder Singh, who was arrested with a Hizbul terrorist Syed Naveed Mushtaq alias Naveed Babu on January 11.
Parra is accused of having being in touch with Naveed Babu and other terrorists.
As per the sources, apart from Hizb, he is accused of being in touch with the Lashkar militants |
