| Omar must resign to allow fair probe: Mahbooba | | `Yusuf died in illegal detention' | | Early Times Report
srinagar, Oct 5: The police used force to disperse PDP rally here today. The rally was held to protest corruption in NC and the government she said time had come to change the entire system upside down in order to provide the state decent and accountable governance.
Addressing the rally, PDP President Mahbooba Mufti said the death of Haji Yusuf in `illegal detention' has exposed the rot that the Abdullah family is presiding over both in NC and government. The rally comprising party workers and sympathizers was taken out from the party office and marched through the main street of the city before it was intercepted by police. Even though the rally was completely peaceful and demanded of Omar Abdullah's resignation to facilitate a fair probe into the death of Yusuf and wide spread corruption at the highest level.
Mahbooba said corruption was rampant in the state and during the last three years this has been institutionalized at the highest political level.
Haji Yusuf's death had only removed the lid from what was being kept away from public focus even though the PDP had all along being cautioning about it. She said the rot was complete and had become so common that the Chief Minister was comfortable with discussing illegal transaction of money within his party cadre at his official residence.
She said newspapers are full of scams and the misdoings of the ministers but Omar Abdullah never even claimed to have discussed these issues in official meetings. How is it that he took cognizance of a private transaction within the party cadre and family and used police to sort it out which resulted in the death of Yusuf in illegal detention which was ordered by the Chief Minister.
The PDP chief said whenever the issue of corruption was raised Omar Abdullah would respond by saying "You give me the proof and I will take action." In the case of Yusuf and other NC workers Haji Yusuf told him that he had given the money to Dr Farooq Abdullah. Wasn't that a proof of the involvement of Chief Minister's father in corruption? But after having provided the proof Haji Yusuf was silenced and he had to pay with his life. Mahbooba said if the govt could file and FIR against Haji Yusuf under Section 420 of RPC for cheating why is not the same law applied to Farooq Abdullah?
Among others the rally was attended by party general secretary Mohammed Dilawar Mir, Mohd Sartaj Madni, Qazi Mohammed Afzal, Tariq Hameed Karra, Nizamudin Bhat, Mohd Khalil Bandh, Basharat Bukhari, Mansoor Hussain, Ab Razaq Zawoora, Syed Bashir Ahmed, Ab Haq Khan, Ch Zulufkar Ahmed, Mohd Ashraf Mir, Nizamudin Khatana, Gh Nabi Lone Hanjura, Mushtaq Ahmed Shah, Peer Mohd Hussain, Ab Hameed Kosheen, Saifudin Bhat, Nazir Ahmed Laway, Mohd Shafi Bandey, Ab Rahim Rather, Ashok Bhat, Nazir Ahmed Yatoo, Showkat Gayoor, and All Zonal Presidents of the valley. |
