Srinagar, November 26(Scoop News)- Castigating Omar Abdullah for his latest remarks, Peoples Democratic Party Tuesday said the chief minister can’t blame his political opponents what the National Conference has been practising since 1947 in the state.
The party’s candidate for Srinagar parliamentary constituency and former finance minister, Tariq Hameed Karra said the ruling party has way back lost the course of argument and it can’t anymore more deceive the people by its wicked political narrative.
The history of the NC is full of deceit and duplicity and they have always been there to exploit people’s sentiments on one pretext or the other. Gone are the days of the ruling party’s green handkerchief and rock salt politics, Karra said and added it was Mufti Mohammad Sayeed who not only talked about the opening of the LoC for travel and trade, but made it happen on the ground.
Omar Abdullah can’t even site any positive thing of his government that is why he is resorting to lies. He is heading the most unpopular, loathed government, the people have ever seen in the state.
“In Kashmir, the chief minister says the accession with New Delhi is temporary, conditional and on the same breath, in Jammu, says the state is integral part of the union,” Karra said adding with this double speak the NC has lost its credibility. It is naive on part of Omar Abdullah, when in Kashmir, he blames the PDP of having alliance with BJP and in Jammu he says we (PDP) are Pakistani agents! Karra said the Abdullah family don’t have any principle and that is why they resort to contradictory statements in Kashmir, Jammu and New Delhi
Abdullahs have managed proper division of labour at home; where Omar Abdullah says one thing, Mustafa Kamal the other and Farooq Abdullah comes in rescue and tenders apology on behalf of the both. Double speak is part of the NC’s strategy that is why Omar Abdullah has no control on his words he utters at different occasions and at different places.
“Everyone understands the NC’s reality which is mired with the double speak, infidelity and duplicity,” said the former finance minister adding in 1975 when people were forced to collect the sacrificial hides for the popular cause, but everything fizzle out with the Shiekh Abdullah getting power for himself. Similarly, the 1987 accord was to see Farooq Abdullah back on the chair.
Karra said it was the NC and its cruel, selfish politics which denied the youth democratic space and forced them to go for extreme step in 1989. In 1996 the party allied with the BJP-led NDA and inflicted grave injuries to Kashmiris. For power’s sake in the state and menial job for Omar Abdullah in the NDA government, they sold seven most feasible power projects to the NHPC; got POTA, started the STF, banned the Shahtoos without caring about the thousands of people, involved with the trade.
Omar Abdulah’s tenure as the chief minister stared with the killing of a deaf and dumb person, few metres away from his (Omar’s) residence. In 2009, the mysterious death of two innocent women in Shopian and the subsequent denial of justice to the victims speak about the Omar Abullah’s insensitiveness and cruelty. Least to say about the chief minister’s role in 2010 is better! He simply can’t wash his hands off the killings of 120 youth. The mysterious death of Haji Yousuf in 2011, at the chief minister’s residence, where Omar Abdullah himself acted as judge, jury and hangman, exposes the murky money dealings in the Abdullah family. In 2012, the historical Dastgeer Shahib shrine in Khanyar got burnt. The chief minister can’t even absolve himself off the hanging of Mohammad Afzal Guroo early this year. Whether it is Gool, Markundal in Sonawari or Shopian this year, the chief minister’s role has been totally damaging and insulting. And since Omar Abdullah has nothing to say positive about his performance, he shoots his mouth at political opponents.
