SRINAGAR, Apr 16: Peoples Conference chairman Sajad Gani Lone today said that National Conference is responsible for the death and destruction in Kashmir.
Addressing a series of meetings in Kangan segment of Ganderbal district, Sajad said NC has nothing to showcase apart from stolen elections, being Delhi’s ambassador in Kashmir and thousands of dead bodies.
”At the core of every misery, every exploitation inflicted upon the Kashmiri nation since 1975 one can find an Abdullah linkage. From bartering our ‘Wazir-e-Azam’ and ‘Sadar-i-Riyasat’ for a toothless CM to enacting PSA (1977) as a means of purging the opposition especially the Jamaat-e-Islami, NC has betrayed Kashmiris at every critical juncture of history,” he said.
He said the 1987 rigging by NC became the immediate trigger for the violence that has gripped the State and devoured one lakh lives.
“As if that wasn’t enough in another bloody deal, the Abdullah’s partnered with the Ikhwanis in 1996 to ensure another grab of power at the altar of yet another generation of Kashmiris blood. In a deal, NC offered political rewards to dreaded Ikhwanis for their facilitation in acquiring power for the Abdullahs’. During 1996-2002, Farooq Abdullah encouraged the “chit system” wherein a name was scribbled on a chit for elimination given to Ikhwan. The orders would come directly from the CM office,” he added.
Appealing the people of Srinagar-Budgam constituency to vote for PC candidate Irfan Reza Ansari, Sajad said the curse of changelessness has to go and for that the people will have to make a decision.
Sajad said that PC will offer a generational change and a system of governance in tune with today’s realities and challenges.
PC leader said the tried, tested and failed leaders, known for their dismal track records, are responsible for the death and destruction in Kashmir. Stressing on the need for change, Sajad said that this election is not a test of the politicians but a test of the people. Sajad promised that his party will fill all government vacancies in six months, if they come in power.
“Give us a chance. We appeal to the youth we don’t promise the unachievable. If we come to power, we will fill all the Government vacancies in six months. Does the youth of Kashmir know that about forty thousand vacancies in the Government sector are unfilled? And the recruitment agencies will take a decade to fill them. We have newer ideas,” Sajad added.
