PDP map vision retrograde, brute violation of democratic rights:Vakil

Jammu, February 15 (Scoop News) –  Map controversy raked up by People Democratic Party (PDP) is an attempt to divert attention of the people of Jammu and Kashmir from her party’s inability despite being in opposition to rake up their issues at the public importance.

This was stated by former minister and Congress MLC Abdul Gani Vakil in a statement issued here today. He has termed the so-called vision of PDP retrograde and brute violation of the democratic rights which every citizen of India enjoys. “PDP should learn to behave in a democratic manner. As opposition, they should rake up public issues and concentrate on improving their living standard,” added Vakil.

He said that no one has a right to comment on whatever is the domain of external affairs ministry of government of India. “Map controversy is equivalent to damaging India’s foreign frontier. We have to remain vigilant and speak within our limitations,” Vakil asserted. He reiterated that PDP should highlight shortcomings of the coalition government if any rather than indulging in such cheap political stunts.

Time demands that PDP should strengthen and augment government’s efforts for bringing permanent and long-lasting peace in the state. “PDP should refrain from using language which BJP is habitual of. Like BJP’s article 370 phobia, PDP is resorting to politics of maps and  far-fetched statements,” added Vakil.
