| Clear your stand on polls, PDP tells NC | | | Early Times Reporter
Srinagar | Sep 8
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the National Conference (NC) leadership must make clear the party's stand on the timing of the assembly elections in the State, as various contradictory statements on the issue, have been dished out by the NC leaders during the past couple of days.
"While the NC Patron Dr Farooq Abdullah made it clear today in Srinagar that his party strongly favors early elections, even if there is one per cent participation in it, his son and the party president Omar Abdullah made a completely contradictory statement in Delhi on the issue," a PDP spokesman said in a statement.
The spokesman said in the prevailing uncertain situation when the people feel suffocated and mass alienation is mounting, the first priority for the political parties, cutting across the divide, must be resolution of the problem instead of hankering after power. "We hope that NC leadership would, instead of resorting to deceitful tactics, play a constructive role at this crucial juncture and ensure that the just concerns and aspirations of the people are addressed before pushing them into any electoral process," he said.
The spokesman said the primary concern of all the political parties in the State should be restoration of peace and normalcy and not the elections. "We can't force people into an electoral process by holding a gun at their head," he said and added that while some NC leaders corroborate such views, but their leaders seem to be playing a different ball game as they did in case of the agreement between the Government and the Sangarsh Samiti. |
