SRINAGAR, Apr 10: Peoples Conference chairman and former Minister Sajad Lone has alleged that NC leader Omar Abdullah had met with the top BJP leadership in Delhi to discuss modalities of Government formation in J&K after 2014 Assembly elections results were declared.
Addressing election rally here today, Sajad said, “ It is fact that Omar Abdullah met the top brass of the BJP leadership and discussed Government formation in detail. I know the details what he said. The problem that Omar Abdullah faces is that there are too many witnesses to the meeting. Hiding behind the fig leave of some denial issued by the BJP at that time can not change the reality. Such denials are routine when political parties are negotiating. The denial from BJP infact indicates the proximity that the NC has with the BJP,” Sajad said.
“ It is simple question, why should BJP be worried about news in the media that Omar Abdullah was discussing government formation with them and issue a denial. It is Omar Abdullah’s sweet wish who wants to ally with them. But given that he fought the whole campaign projecting himself as the whole warrior against the BJP, the utterances of Omar Abdullah unambiguously suggest that aligning with the BJP is a political sin,” PC leader said.
“In our eyes, Omar is no warrior and instead acting like a spurned lover. He was in love with BJP and aspired to be the sinner and was spurned. The people of Kashmir deserve to be enlightened that this person who has been sermonizing us about the ills of BJP had no qualms aligning with it in 2014. He had no qualms in 1999 and will have no qualms aligning with it in future,” Sajad maintained.
Asserting that the entire guests list who attended the meeting is available with him, Sajad said that even the letters of support from members who did not belong to the BJP-NC duo had been collected.
“ How much will he lie ? And how many more lies will he have to manufacture to protect this one, mother of all lies? In case Abdullah has a selective memory , let me remind of the settings. It was a flat and not an official bungalow, obviously to keep the meeting secret. It was in the vicinity of Delhi’s Connaught Place. There was at least one more Kashmiri and he was not from his party,” Sajad maintained.
