Early Times Report
Srinagar Mar 10-: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has termed allegation against the Party as having joined hands with BJP as absurd. A spokesman of the party said in a statement this was a propaganda that the National Conference (NC) lie-machine headed by its President was best at.
The spokesman was reacting to allegations made by the NC president Dr Farooq Abdullah and the Congress Pradesh chief Saif-ud-Din Soz that PDP had joined hands with the BJP in recent elections to the Legislative Council. Had that been so, the spokesman said, it would have been a candidate from the PDP or BJP who would have won and not someone from Panthers Party. Reminding Dr Abdullah of his time tested and open links with the Sangh Parivar, the spokesman said his severing of ties from the NDA was only eyewash for regaining power at any cost. The links continue to flourish even today. How was it that Dr. Farooq and Mohammad Shafi got more votes in the recent Rajya Sabha polls than the coalition had allotted them, he wondered and said Farooq had begged BJP leaders L K Advani, Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley to have one of the BJP members in the J&K Legislative Assembly vote for him to make him secure. Similarly one JKNPP member had voted for Mohammad Shafi, he said. The elections to the Jammu Municipal Corporation provide even more evidence of an active alliance between the BJP and NC, the spokesman said. How is it that BJP, being in minority in the JMC, and NC having just six members got their candidates elected as the Mayor and Deputy Mayor respectively? The spokesman asked. The spokesman said it was sad that Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz had failed to understand the tactics of his partner and some hidden hand from his own party. He should realize the underhand means and subterfuge employed by the NC to get Vijay Bakaya elected at the cost of his favorite Congress candidate. While one would sympathize with Prof Soz for what could soon be projected as his personal failure, but he should not have forgotten the humiliating treatment he received from NC when he had boldly voted against Vajpayee government in defiance of party whip. Farooq Abdullah’s sermons, the spokesman said, are generally amusing but he should try to understand that he has no moral authority to question PDP decision to support JKNPP which was a partner of the previous coalition headed by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. After having been part of Sangh Parivar for about a decade openly, selling out Autonomy for power in the words of his mentor L K Advani and getting his son the present chief minister groomed in the Sangh political school, Farooq is now making his position even more ridiculous through his traditional verbal acrobatics, the spokesman added.
