SRINAGAR, Aug 23: Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of interfering in the affairs of the party by forcing Ladakh administration not to allot “plough” symbol to the party.
Addressing youth NC workers at party office here Omar said the BJP is so afraid of them that they are interfering in the affairs of the party.
He said that the administration is making sure that NC should not use “plough” as their election symbol in the Ladakh Hill Development Council elections. He said that there are clear instructions of the Election Commission that the party can use election symbol in any state elections without any restrictions.
“We knocked on the door of the High Court in this matter and there the judge gave a verdict in our favour and directed the Ladakh administration to provide us with a “plough” symbol. We thought maybe we will get the mark now but the administration challenged the single bench decision before the division bench and filed objections containing 300 pages, but even from there they had to face it and the single bench decision was upheld and we are satisfied”.
The NC leader said the limit was reached when the Ladakh administration reached the Supreme Court against the decision of the division bench.
He said that all this is being done because some people had a misconception that after 2019, the sign of the NC will be removed from Ladakh and only to prove this, the time of the court is being wasted and our little money is also being wasted.
He said NC will win this election too and we will succeed in future elections because we do not do deceitful politics.
Omar said that there was no hope of getting Article 370 back from the government because what they have taken will not be returned.
He said NC will leave no stone unturned in fighting the case and we have done exactly that and among the best lawyers in the country two leading 2 lawyers represented the NC.
“We can hope for justice and pray to the almighty for success”, he added.
