| Farooq aims barbs at Mufti, Hurriyat | | |
Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, May 2: National Conference patriarch and candidate for the Central Kashmir Lok Sabha constituency of Srinagar-Budgam-Ganderbal, Dr Farooq Abdullah today said that the PDP founder Mufti Mohammad Sayeed as well as the Valley’s separatist leadership had forced the hapless Kashmiris to bleed through their nose.
Addressing a series of ‘road shows’ and thinly attended public meetings in the capital city outskirts of Iddgah, Dr Abdullah said that none other than Mufti Sayeed had introduced an era of cold blooded massacres through his “puppet” and then Governor Jagmohan in 1990. He alleged that the massacres of Gawkadal, Islamia College, Bijbehara and the carnage in Handwara had been directed and facilitated by Mufti who, according to the NC leader, was responsible for Kashmir’s destruction and killing of thousands of people in the Valley.
Dr Abdullah said that PDP’s green-colour flag was nothing but a camouflage to further hoodwink the Kashmiris. He alleged that Mufti Sayeed had raised a house in the restricted green belt around Dal Lake and threatened to drag him to a court of law for “brazen violation” of the environmental and urban development laws.
Taking potshots on the Hurriyat leaders, Dr Abdullah said that these people had first glorified and encouraged gun culture that had left thousands of Kashmiris dead and maimed and the same people, enjoying the benefits and privileges of the Indian democratic system, were now provoking the people in Srinagar to continue their senseless stone pelting. For God’s sake, let them make it clear whether they are with India or Pakistan or China”, Dr Abdullah said in his typical sarcastic style.
Dr Abdullah asked the people of Srinagar, Budgam and Ganderbal districts to once again reject the Hurriyat’s boycott call and come out in large numbers on Thursday next to exercise their right of franchise. He said that he had been resolutely with one party since his birth but his rivals in the fray had so frequently changed their colours that the people of Kashmir take time to remember whether they were currently with this party or that party. He said that chronic defectors could never represent the people in real perspective.
