SRINAGAR, Aug 17: Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief, Ghulam Ahmed Mir today alleged that Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti was adopting dictatorial policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing party convention at Bandipur, Baramulla and Kupwara today, Mir lashed out at both State and Centre Govts for failing to win the hearts of people citing the reason as malicious campaign being launched against the people, especially the Special Status of the State.
Mentioning that RSS- BJP is desperate enough to erode the constitutional authority of the State to serve their vested interests, Mir warned that any attempt to weaken Special Status will be defeated tooth and nail. “PDP is fully responsible for the current fiasco and can’t escape the responsibility of death and destruction in the Valley,” Mir said.
Stating that PDP has crossed all limits of mis-governance, Mir said Mehbooba is adopting dictatorial attitude of Modi, who is in habit of suppressing the voices being raised against his wrong policies and was out to crush the genuine voice of the people. Mehbooba is adopting same policies here in the State in order to seek extensions in her service, as that the performance of her Govt on ground level is zero and disappointing, but despite that she is getting the extensions of her service on every visit to Delhi.
He expressed confidence that people have realised as how they were betrayed by the PDP for electoral gains, as the PDP secured votes to checkmate BJP, but aligned with same party for the sake of power by not caring about the urges of people.
He briefed the cadre about the fallout of fiddling with Art 35 A, which is the main component of Special Status saying that any attempt to weaken it will be a dangerous proposition fraught with serious consequences.
PCC chief, who was on tour to North Kashmir reviewed the organisational affairs and activities in Bandipora, Kupwara and Baramulla districts and urged upon the cadres to defeat the designs of PDP BJP responsible for the deteriorating situation in the Valley.
Speaking on the occasion MLA Haji Abdul Rashid Dar and MLA Usman Majeed attacked ruling dispensation for dancing on the tune of RSS & BJP for the sake of remaining in power.
They blamed both State and Centre for the deteriorating situation in Valley and also blamed them for atmosphere of uncertainty and warned that any attempt to abrogate Art 35- A shall be treated as a deliberate move to change the demography of the State.
