NC Responds: ‘Uneasy and Powerless’ on Statehood Demand
Srinagar, Jan 14 : PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Monday accused Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of doing “everything” to normalise the Centre’s decision to revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s special status.
In a post on X, Mehbooba Mufti said that Abdullah’s conduct has been so different from that of her father’s, late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, a former chief minister.
“Difference between a shortsighted politician & a true statesman. In 2003 then BJP PM Vajpayee during his visit to Srinagar showed great faith in Mufti sahab’s vision of peace with dignity even though PDP had a mere 16 MLAs.
“Today our CM despite 50 MLAs did everything to appease & normalise Delhi’s unilateral actions in August 2019 that cleaved & robbed J&K of its special status,” Mehbooba said in the post.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) stated that the ‘PDP is in no position to effect any change’.
The party expressed that the PDP’s reaction to the Chief Minister’s call for the restoration of statehood, made directly to the Prime Minister, is an ‘indication of their growing unease’.
“PDP is not in a position to do anything. They are just getting unnerved by the CM urging the PM for statehood restoration… without mixing any words.Don’t mislead people. Well actually, you can’t mislead people now, coz no one listens to you. Keep on tearing your vocal cords,” NC’s state spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar, wrote in a post on X.
