JAMMU, Mar 3: Describing PDP-BJP’s ‘Agenda of the Alliance’ as bunch of deception and contradictions, National Conference pooh-poohed Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s tall claim of the alliance being manifestation of conviction and said in fact it is an arrangement of convenience to get glued to power.
The inherent contradictions between the two have surfaced on the very take off day itself, which speak of the contours of governance Jammu and Kashmir is poised to get in days to come, the newly elected National Conference MLAs besides MLCs said here this afternoon in a joint statement.
They exploded PDP’s hypocrisy of elisitng public view point over the so-called Common Minimum Programme before entering into alliance with BJP and said in a mad rush to cross the power corridors, however, they forgot their repeated commitments with quite ease.
They said during the past six years when National Conference pitched for revocation of AFSPA, PDP showed total indifference in a bid to placate their masters and when elections neared they pretended to be its pioneers. “How long will PDP befool the people”, they wondered.
The NC legislators tore apart PDP’s political philosophy and said they were so naive about issues that after getting into power they got to know about the relation of Disturbed Areas Act with the enforcement of AFSPA.
National Conference legislators asked the PDP to come clear on the issues like Armed Forces Special Powers Act and citizenship rights to West Pakistan Refugees. “This is imperative because of the pretended divergent political thoughts being pursued by the BJP and the PDP, which apparently are poles apart unless there is a hidden common agenda”, they said adding that the two parties should not take the politically sagacious people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh for granted, as they are well placed to read between the lines. They said the ambiguity and contradictions between the two parties, which have surfaced during the past two days, have created fissures in the coalition even before its formal take off.
The NC legislators warned that Jammu and Kashmir will not be allowed to become a political laboratory for PDP and BJP to settle their political score. “We will not allow derailing of the peace initiatives and developmental effort which formed the core of Omar Abdullah Government”, they maintained.
