BJP’s criticism of Farooq mountain of lies: NC

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Jan 25: The J&K National Conference today termed the uncouth remarks used against NC president, Dr Farooq Abdullah by BJP general secretary as a mountain of lies and a bundle of deception.
Reacting strongly to Tarun Chugh’s false attribution to Dr Farooq, party’s State spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said, “Such remarks are born out of frustration. BJP which is running out of gas is now attacking the tallest leader of J&K and one of the senior most opposition leaders of the country to remain relevant. Having no bone to pitch with the National Conference, Chugh is going ballistic and lying through his teeth. It seems Chugh has nothing else to do except manufacturing lies. His remarks are far from reality and are his mental innovation.”
The spokesman added that Dr Farooq Abdullah’s statement on the arrest of Sher-i-Kashmir was distorted. “These people are upset only because Dr Farooq in his speech appreciated the efforts of Late Nehru for the development of the country.”
While calling out the hypocrisy of BJP, Imran said, “Had NC been after power then Sheikh Abdullah wouldn’t have spent most of his life in jails and confinement. Had we been after power, then we had not been opposing BJP unlike its local minions and B, and C teams. NC has never sought power, history is replete with instances, where we have rejected power,” Dar added.
