| Inside bid to topple Omar, says Farooq | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 24: Making public prevailing tension among the ruling coalition partners in Jammu and Kashmir over the proposal to withdraw the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from parts of the state, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday said some coalition leaders wanted to topple the Omar Abdullah government. Farooq is also the National Conference (NC) president.
“There are some people among us who want to topple the government,” said Farooq while speaking at his party’s district-level convention in Rajouri. He was apparently referring to senior Congress leaders and supporters of state unit chief Saifuddin Soz who have been asking the high command to have a chief minister from both the coalition partners by rotation.
Both Farooq and Omar have told their supporters not to lend credence to such demands by some local Congress leaders, as it has already been settled with the Congress high command that the office of the chief minister will remain with the NC for the full six-year term.
“On the one hand, there are some people who have been sitting with us and using the ministers and on the other, they are digging our graves. If they have joined hands, they should work honestly and they should have no double standards on this,” Farooq said.
