Addressing a press conference at Boniyar in North Kashmir, Uri said that all the forces backed by BJP have collaborated against him in Uri.
“The support extended by the Apni Party to Mohiuddin in Uri is a clear indication that he has always been the BJP’s favourite man”, the NC leader said.
He said time has exposed even the last ally of the BJP in Kashmir who tried to hide himself for years under the grab of different political parties.
“But we the people of Uri are aware and we will never allow anyone to represent from this place who are part and parcel of RSS backed BJP,” Shafi asserted.
“Can Taj reply to my question about why he visited Delhi for two days and on return, why did he straight away go to Altaf Bukhari’s residence to meet him. Who are the masters of Altaf Bukhari and Taj Mohiuddin in Delhi, who have facilitated this alliance,” he questioned.
“The public of Uri had understood this only when congress denied entry to the Mohiuddin, but the perception they want to create by this alliance has no takers in Uri”, he added.
“BJP has already announced to support independent candidates in Kashmir, Taj is one among them. It is clear that he is being backed by BJP and RSS,” he added.
