| Mehbooba’s decision to skip Delhi meeting exposes cracks in Gupkar Alliance | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 18: The decision of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) chief and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to skip a meeting of opposition leaders with national leaders exposed cracks in the Peoples’ Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD).
Opposition leaders met the Election Commission of India to press for the demand for assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
Instead of becoming part of the delegation, Mehbooba Mufti said that elections were not her party’s priority.
I would like to let you know that earlier the National Conference (NC) passed a unanimous resolution to contest all 90 Assembly without going for any pre-poll alliance which was a clear indication of the breaking of PAGD.
The National Conference (NC) provincial committee members had unanimously passed a resolution to contest all 90 Assembly seats in Jammu and Kashmir without going for any pre-poll alliance.
Provincial Committee members unanimously resolved that JKNC should prepare and fight all 90 seats,” the party said in a statement after a meeting chaired by the party’s vice president and former Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah.
With much publicity, the PAGD was formed in October 2019 by six political parties with the pledge of perseverance and steadfastness toward the restoration of Article 370. This resolution was written in the Alliance’s declaration where the political parties stated there would be “nothing about us without us,” meaning they will stick together come what may.
“We want to assure people that all our political activities will be subservient to the sacred goal of reverting to the status of J&K as it existed before August 2019,” read PAGD’s declaration.
Within a couple of months after its formation, PAGD had received a severe jolt when Sajad Lone of the Peoples’ Conference, left the alliance. Lone charged both NC and PDP with fielding proxy candidates against the officially mandated candidates of the alliance during the DDC elections. He called these actions “a breach of trust”. |
