| `Omar prepares to introduce Marshal Law in JK' | | NC has been dis-empowering people: PDP | | Early Times Report
srinagar, Nov 27: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President, Mahbooba Mufti today accused National Conference of misusing the support of centre and its allies only to dis-empower the people of the state. She also accused Omar Abdullah of paving way for introducing Marshal Law in the state on a permanent basis.
She was addressing a public meeting at Kokernag in South Kashmir today. MLA Abdul Rehman Veeri, Rafi Ahmed Mir, MLC Nizamudin Khatana and Zonal President Ab Rahim Rather were also present and spoke on this occasion.
Mahbooba said the NC ends all arguments by flaunting "centre's support" to all its misdeeds. "Whenever questions are raised about the problems faced by the people in NC rule, the ruling party traditionally uses centre's support as if that was a solution for all problems like power, water or flagrant human rights violations", she said.
Mufti said Omar's campaign for revocation of AFSPA was aimed to deflect attention from the serious lapses in governance and rampant corruption under the present coalition government. She said the APSPA has to go sooner or later but Omer Abdullah's diabolical suggestion to incorporate its essence into the local Ranbir Penal Code (RPC) amounts to introducing a virtual Marshall Law in the state on a permanent basis.
"After making this offer of amending RPC to replace APSPA, the Abdullah's can no more blame Delhi for erosion of state's special status. It is they who primarily have been instrumental in erosion of autonomy of the state", she added.
Talking about the achievements of PDP led government, she said the security forces had been reigned in effectively and POTA was revoked without any noises being made about it. "But the NC leaders are only indulging in drum beating which apparently is leading to permanent disempowerment of people and democratic institutions of the state", she said.
She asked the people to be cautious about worst compromises being made by Omer Abdullah on their dignity and honour just to escape the fallout of Haji Yousuf's death and stick to power by hook or crook.
Mehbooba said last year's trouble in Kashmir which resulted in the death of more than 120 young people was also pushed under the carpet by NC citing "Centre's support".
The PDP president said the NC also sold out the autonomy resolution to for a Junior Ministerial berth in the Union cabinet for Omar. "He followed this up by handing over three more power projects to NHPC in the name of joint venture on most harmful terms for the state and entered into a tie up with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) at the cost of the state'e own premier institution the J&K Bank delivering a severe blow to states financial autonomy", she said.
Condemning the continuous use of force against unarmed civilians and press persons by Omer Abdullah government, Mehbooba said "The pictures of small teenage boys being handcuffed are heart rending". She said no civilized society would tolerate such inhumane treatment of kids who should have been inspired to be in middle or primary schools. |
