JAMMU, Jan 25: Pradesh Congress Committee today said that both coalition partners, PDP and BJP, owe an explanation to the people of the State for the ongoing uncertainty.
The top brass of the Congress party which met here today to discuss the prevailing political scenario in the State, in the wake of ongoing un- certainty over formation of a popular Government in the State, observed that the prevailing atmosphere of uncertainty has put the onus on the Governor, as the Constitutional head of the State, to explore the possibility of formation of the Govt at the earliest.
The meeting which was presided over by the PCC president GA Mir also took stock of the problems being faced by the common people besides reviewing the organizational affairs, especially the progress in the ongoing membership drive of the party. It was attended by the senior leaders of the party including senior functionaries of PCC and legislators (MLAs/MLCs).
The meeting viewed that the ongoing uncertainty over the formation of Government in the State is the matter of great concern for the people as their day today problems are getting compounded, as the Governor’s rule, howsoever best it may be, cannot be a substitute to a popular Government. This kind of uncertainty is an indication of the fact that the two coalition partners (PDP-BJP) who had come together for the Government formation after cutting across their stated positions on various issues, did not feel fully satisfied amongst themselves also, what to talk of the people who felt cheated and betrayed.
The eruption of numerous controversies over various issues between the two coalition partners putting the people of the State in deep trouble, at times, during the short period of 10 months under an experienced leadership of Mufti Mohd Sayeed further vindicates this view of their inherent contradictions. The two coalition partners owe an explanation to the people for the ongoing uncertainty.
Reiterating the commitment of Congress party to strengthen the democratic and secular traditions in the State for the broader unity, the PCC members said that Congress is the only secular force which is committed to defeat the designs of the communal and divisive forces whicxh are posing a challenge to the secular fabric in the State and elsewhere in the country.
