SRINAGAR, June 21: A day after National Conference took pot shots at the political status of communist member M Y Tarigami, Awami Mutahida Mahaz (AMM) today hit out at NC and its spokesman.
“We feel extremely sorry and can understand the amount of pain and agony being experienced by National Conference following a humiliating drubbing in the recently held Lok Sabha elections,” an AMM statement said.
It said the utterances made by party’s spokesman who is a politically naive and a juvenile in state politics surely reflect that his name has been used for taking pot shots against M Y Tarigami.
“However, the language used by the NC in its official handout reflects the state of discourteousness and the level of intolerance for its opposition parties. It seems that feudal psyche is still dominating a section within NC leadership who consider that they have the proprietary and exclusive rights over the people of the state. These leaders are yet to comprehend that times have changed and so has the political dynamics of the state.”
AMM said let NC spokesman understand that records of the Parliament and State Legislative Assembly bears testimony to the fact that the leadership of Awami Mutahida Mahaz (AMM) have represented people in the best possible manner at a time when majority in NC leadership were not born in the political arena of Jammu and Kashmir.
The statement said Tarigami’s political life is an open book and people are well versed with his struggle for the peoples’ rights for the last over four decades. The records of Assembly bears witness to his performance and commitment to the people’s issues.
“The Assembly elections are not far and let the people decide who is an entity and a non-entity in political spheres of the state. Instead of mud-slinging on its opposition the NC is advised to go for deep and serious introspection,” it said.
