| Azad says PDP's attitude has left him 'shocked' | | |
New Delhi, Oct 15: In his first reaction to the political controversy between the PDP and Congress that rocked Jammu and Kashmir last month, Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad today said he was "shocked" at the charges levelled against PDP leader Muzzafar Hussain Beigh by his alliance partner and even hinted at a lack of coordination between the two parties.
"I was shocked to hear the type of chargesheet against (former Deputy Chief Minister) Beigh. I was shocked at the way he was called by the PDP leadership and hit left and right for supporting the Chief Minister," Azad, who is in the national capital, said in an interview.
He was responding to a question about a perception that the Congress and PDP -- the partners in Kashmir's ruling coalition -- were not getting on well and there was a lack of coordination between them.
The PDP's action of removing Beigh as its legislature party chief forced him to resign from the post of Deputy Chief Minister.
"What impression does this chargesheet give? My every decision has been to pull the state out from the destruction that has been seen there over the years. Is it wrong?", asked Azad.
To a pointed question on coordination between the two parties, Azad preferred not to give a direct reply but said, "We used to be very happy when Congress ministers accompanied the previous Chief Minister (PDP leader Mufti Mohammed Sayeed).
