PDP has no perfect political ideology: Sagar
Srinagar: The senior Congress leader
and minister for health and medical education Taj Mohi-u-Din on Saturday took
exception to Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) admiration for BJP led
NDA saying that Congress cannot stop PDP from joining Sangh Parivar if the
party has decided so.
“If the PDP has decided to join Sangh Parivar patronized
BJP led NDA, how can we stop them. If they want to shun secularism and
join communal and divisive forces how we can stop that,” Taj told KNS on phone.
He said that if PDP has decided to leave secular
credentials for the sake power, Congress has no locus to prevent them from
joining the communal and fascist parties. “As is evident from the remarks they
have made from the last few weeks, the PDP can go to any extent for power and
it is no surprise for me,” Taj observed.
The minister for health and medical education maintained
the he is concerned that such remarks have been made by a mainstream party that
claims to believe in secularism. “And iIf they want to break the secular fabric
of the Jammu and Kashmir, how can we help,” Taj added.
When asked that the same line has been adopted by Mirwaiz
Umar Farooq, chairman Hurriyat Conference (M), Taj said: “Everybody can make
his opinion. I cannot comment on his statements. Since I do not believe in his
political belief I cannot respond to Mirwaiz’s remarks on BJP-led NDA.”
Echoing Taj’s opinion, Ali Mohmmad Sagar, National
Conference senior leader and minister for rural development alleged that PDP
changes political colors from time to time. “Sometimes they praise UPA and
sometimes they admire Mr Vajpayee. They do not have any perfect political
ideology. PDP can do anything for power.”
On Mirwaiz’s remarks Sagar said that people are free to
express their opinions. “But in what context the Hurriyat (M) chairman has
praised BJP led NDA, I think Mirwaiz will be in a better position to
elaborate.”(KNS)
