| Mehbooba says Azad could not do justice to chair | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Dec13: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President, Mehbooba Mufti has accused former chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad of fomenting religious, regional and ethnic dissentions in the State for political purposes.
Addressing public meetings at Bhaderwah and Bhalessa today, Mehbooba said it is, perhaps, for the first time in the history of the State that a chief minister allied himself with a particular region and ethnic group thereby brewing strong undercurrents of polarization. "A chief minister is like a father and he has to treat all his family members fairly," she said and added that unfortunately, Ghulam Nabi Azad couldn't do justice with the chair and his myopic policies fueled regional, religious and ethnic tensions across the State.
"It was shocking to hear Ghulam Nabi Azad saying at a public meeting yesterday that he gave mandate to eight candidates from a particular ethnic community in the State while other parties neglected them," Mehbooba said and added that such prejudiced utterances, in a sensitive state like Jammu and Kashmir, only demonstrate Azad's lack of political comprehension.
Mehbooba said the inexcusable mishandling of the Coalition Government by Ghulam Nabi Azad not only fettered away the gains made on the security, political and development fronts between 2002- 2005, but caused terrible damage to the traditions of communal harmony and brotherhood in the State. "It was because of the visionless policies of Azad that the positively transforming situation in the State was put in a reverse gear immediately after he took over in November 2005," she said.
The PDP P
PDP candidate from Bhaderwah constituency Sheikh Mujeeb also addressed these meetings. |
