‘Contradicts Mufti's history, PDP's politics’
In a joint statement issued to KNS, the NC leaders Dr.
Mehboob Beg, Sharif-ud-Din Shariq and Mohammad Akbar Lone have said that if
Mufti and Mehbooba were so concerned about Afzal Guru, what did they do while
charges against Afzal Guru were filed during their tenure and with Mufti ‘tacit
support and approval’?
“Wasn't it Muzaffar Beig, PDP's stalwart and candidate
from Baramulla Parliamentary Seat who was engaged to defend Maqbool Bhat in the
Supreme Court and ended up absconding and leaving Maqbool Bhat without a
defense counsel even after receiving the due counsel fee and retainer-ship?
There are serious apprehensions and theories that this was done deliberately
against the interests of Bhat, who was later hanged,” the statement reads.
It added: “PDP talks of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhat
without speaking of Gaw Kadal, Bijbihera, Handwara massacres - those
which were not only allowed but facilitated under the command of Mufti
Sayeed as the Home Minister of India? There are also questions on Mufti's role
in allegedly refusing to prevent the assassination of Mirwaiz Molvi
Farooq Sahab by ignoring his repeated pleas for granting security to him.”
The NC leaders have said: “To add to the miseries - the
mourners in his funeral processions were fired on while Mufti Sahab remained in
direct command of the security forces. Wasn't it Mufti Sayeed who defended
the Armed Forces against the Kunan Poshpora victims on the floor of the
parliament in Delhi? Now the same Mufti Sahab wants to tell us that he will
represent the pain of Kashmiris in Delhi through his candidates for the
Parliamentary Polls? Why did he then choose to humiliate and speak against the Kunan
Posh Pora victims in parliament back then?”
The statement reads: “The same Mufti Sayeed who talks
about AFSPA revocation remained conveniently docile about the issue during his
run at power. While Mehbooba Mufti has the audacity to claim moral high-ground
for offering to relinquish her security over this issue in the past,
one ponders over the fact that she still carries around security - despite
AFSPA being in place years after her symbolic tamasha and cosmetic threat. Now
Mufti Sahab has started bashing the UPA and openly garlanding the Narendra Modi
led NDA - overtly as well as covertly in alleged meetings with Modi's
top-brass in Delhi.”
The National Conference leaders remarked that while Mufti
Sayeed deems the UPA a failure now, he was content and satisfied while he was a
part of a coalition with Congress. “Mehbooba Mufti on the other hand
ironically claims that NC has cut of its hands by allowing Congress to field
its candidates from Udhampur, Jammu and Ladakh. Irony is that the same PDP left
no stone unturned to beg and plead with the Congress and tried various
machinations to sabotage the NC-Congress coalition - all of which
failed completely.”
They added: “Our coalition with Congress is not
a fair-weather convenience but an ideological coalition. PDP is
a coalition of individuals with completely divergent political ideologies
and pasts - all contradicting the posturing of the party today. There is not a
single senior PDP leader who can claim to have been born in 2002 and history
does not start in 2002 with the formation of PDP.”
The statement added that “their aggressions and evil
designs against the people of J&K are recorded in tragic, black notes in
the history of this nation. Repeated contrarian
and contradictory statements issues by Mufti Sayeed and Mehbooba
Mufti since the last week show the abject frustration of the party at PDP's
phenomenal erosion in the Anantnag Parliamentary Seat and
their embarrassing inability to make even the smallest inroads in the
other five seats.” (KNS)
