| 'Advani paid Mufti 15 Cr to float PDP’ | | BJP leadership wanted to stall NC’s popularity: Bhim Singh | | Jammu, Nov 4:
Leveling serious allegations on BJP leadership that during NDA regime, it had manipulated money for creation of People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) supremo Bhim Singh today demanded a judicial inquiry on the then Union Home Minister, L K Advani for flowing of funds to Mufti Mohammad Sayeed for the purpose.
Addressing a press conference, here today, Bhim Singh said, an inquiry needs to be ordered over manipulating of the money by the BJP leaders for creation of PDP in Jammu and Kashmir.
He alleged that Advani was instrumental in creating PDP with an objective to float a front as an alternative to National Conference in the state. He said that Advani managed to fund Mufti with an amount of Rs.15 crore for the purpose and added that that he has enough evidence to prove the veracity of the facts.
Meanwhile, Panthers party also distanced itself from November 6 strike call and said that Refugees United Front should leave path of agitation and instead discuss their problems.
Criticising BJP for supporting the bandh call, he said that it had not pleaded the cause of West Pakistan and PoK refugees while they were in power in Centre for six years, Bhim Singh said that they are living in the state since the partition of the country. He also castigated other political parties for ignoring refugees’ cause and said no one has so far cared to provide them due justice and equality during past 50 years.
Giving details, Singh said that BJP was at that time having 139 MPs in the Parliament and could have easily redressed all the grievances of the refugees. “It is ironical that they are now shedding crocodile tears of the plight of refugees of the state.” He asked refugees not to get exploited by their hollow slogans saying they are using them as vote bank.
He also charged Congress, National Conference and other parties in the state who were in office from time to time for not doing enough to grant citizenship rights to the West Pakistani refugees.
