As the season of poll-time confrontation heats up between Peoples Democratic Party and the National Conference, the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today took sarcastic potshots on Mehbooba Mufti while questioning moral credibility of the opposition party in representing Kashmir in Parliament.
Taking pride in his speech on nuclear deal in Parliament where he touched upon the issue of Amarnath land transfer, the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today claimed that PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti was seen missing in action Kashmir was burning.
Addressing a series of public meetings in several South Kashmir villages, Omar said, “when an opportunity came in way of PDP leader to defend interests of Kashmir in Lok Sabha, Mehbooba Mufti had said Yaar Mein Kya Boloon”. This was the only response of PDP leader, said Omar and added that his speech voiced concerns of Kashmir in Lok Sabha.
Omar asked the people to choose a representative for Lok Sabha who could speak and speak vehemently becoming the voice of the people of his constituency and of the state as a whole. Saying that all these qualities are in Dr. Mehboob Beg and he could be the best representative of people in the Lok Sabha, he asked the people to exercise their vote in his favour.
Abdullah said that those who have miserably failed in the past to represent the people of Jammu and Kashmir in the Parliament do not deserve to be returned he said and asked the people to send a vibrant voice in the shape of Dr. Mehboob Beg to the Parliament.
Rejecting the PDP’s concern about Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA), Chief Minister declared it yet another gimmickry of the PDP to befool the public. He questioned why this party did not even talked about AFSPA during the period when it was in power adding PDP instead made every effort to ensure AFSPA was implemented in letter and spirit. “Now the party is out of power and trying to misled people on this count”.
Abdullah said that when PDP was in power more than hundred enquiries were ordered for Human Rights violations but this was only an eye wash and playing to the gallery because none of these enquiries were concluded and no one punished. Drawing a comparison, Chief Minister said that he constituted the enquiry on Bommai (Sopore) case got it concluded within 15 days and ensured action against the culprits. He said “here is the difference. We believe in actions and they befool people through slogans”.
