| NC, PDP ‘indirectly’ support abrogation of Art 370: Azad | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 29: Former Chief Minister and chairman of Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday lambasted the National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for not opposing the abrogation of Article 370.
Cornering NC and PDP for befooling people in the name of restoring Article 370, Azad said that he was the only member who opposed the abrogation of this article in the Parliament.
Countering the allegation of Kashmir-centric parties for maintaining silence on the demand of restoring the pre-August 5, 2019 position in J&K, Azad said that his stand on Article 370 is clear and firm. “I was the only representative in the Parliament from Jammu and Kashmir who strongly opposed its abrogation”, Azad while addressing a gathering in south Kashmir’s Shopian district.
Azad’s statement is a direct attack on the Peoples’ Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) because representatives of two main constituents of this alliance namely NC and PDP were present in the Parliament on August 5, 2019.
Azad made it clear that instead of opposition to the abrogation of Article 370 in the Parliament, both parties are trying to give statements just to befool the people for petty political gains.
Ghulam Nabi Azad earlier publically made it clear that the chances of the restoration of Article 370 were bleak. He said that restoring Article 370 in the present political scenario was not possible.
“I will not mislead the people over the issue of Article 370 as only a government with a two-thirds majority in Parliament can ensure the restoration of this article”, Azad had stated in said in a public rally in Kashmir.
“I know what can and cannot be done. I or the Congress party or three regional parties cannot give you back Article 370, neither can TMC chief Mamata Banerjee, or DMK or NCP chief Sharad Pawar,” Azad said.
Azad made it clear that he would not mislead the people by raising the demand for the restoration of Article 370 because, in the prevailing political scenario in the country, it was not possible to get back this Article. |
