JAMMU, Mar 25: Unholy and un ethical hobnobbing of National Conference (NC) and Jammu Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) on Foundation Day celebrations of the latter, needs to be taken note of, said BJP spokesman and former MLA, Ramnagar, Ranbir Singh Pathania, while talking to reporters today.
He said Dr Farooq Abdullah was the chief guest on the Foundation Day of JKNPP where he was welcomed with red carpet and open arms by the president and chairman JKNPP.
While taking a pot-shot, Pathania, accompanied by Brig (retd) Anil Gupta, Dr Tahir Choudhary and Rajni Sethi spokespersons JKBJP and Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, media secretary & in-charge Media Department, BJP, termed it as an ‘act of desperation’ driven with lust for power rejected forces. Dr Farooq, with all fanfare had formed a rag-tag conglomerate of political parties and pressure groups in the name and style of ‘People’s Alliance of Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) and made boasts and brags of all sorts. Neither the skies fell nor did anybody catch larks. And same is the case of JKNPP too which has almost been reduced to a naught for its politics of opportunism, deceit, double-speak and nepotism, he added.
He said, Dr Farooq has now started shedding crocodile tears for Maharaja Hari Singh and Zorawar Singh. But he and his party owe an answer to the people of J&K. Starting with a scratch in the name of ‘Muslim Conference’, while spewing unfounded venom and disinformation against the all popular Maharaja Sahib, NC glorified a communal strife of 1931 as ‘Martyrs’ Day’ for more than five decades, he added.
He asked is not JKNPP a B-team of JKNC? Is not the Jammu declaration another hoax/hallucination created by these spent up forces and now being tested and tried on the Jammu soil?. Does not the positioning of two parties reminisces us of a ‘grand alliance’ mooted in the after back of 2014 elections whereby an attempt was made to cobble up a Government minus sweeping mandate of Jammu? Has not the act fully exposed the JKNPP who have ganged up with JKNC which has damaged the Dogra pride and cultural, communal harmony of J&K ?
Is not totally a communally charged narrative being built, by small titbits, just with a view to creating smokescreens and is not the act an attempt by the rejected ‘Gupkaris’ and spent up ‘Jammu forces’ to enact another farce and rather fraud in J&K, he questioned?
