JAMMU, Jan 5: People’s Conference and former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil today said that his apprehensions regarding fielding of proxy candidates by constituents of Gupkar group have been proved right and now action should be taken against those who deceived the collective will of the people.
Vakil, who is himself part of People Conference, which is a part of PAGD, asserted that people have realized that the PAGD is the only alliance in the history of world which fought each other for the sake of small DDC seats.
“The alliance parties fielded proxy candidates in DDC elections and made the said elections a mockery. No doubt Gupkar Alliance did well in elections but the expectation was to sweep the polls which could not happen as the leadership was lacking the sincerity. Why did we get so less seats in Kashmir valley is something the leadership must introspect”, he added.
Vakil said PC Chairman Sajjad Gani Lone, with whom he has held four stormy meetings expressing his apprehensions, should introspect whether there is any sincerity in the alliance.
“All of us fought each other on the ground resulting into less number of seats not to speak of sweeping the polls which we were expecting. What was the purpose of lying to the people and telling them we are in an alliance when in majority of the cases there was no alliance?,” he said and stressed on the PC Chairman to call immediately a meeting of the core group in order to introspect that aren’t they misleading the people.
Vakil also said he had talked to elected DDC members of the party who are not sure whether they would contest for the post of chairmanship or any trade off which involves taking support from the alliance parties or giving support to them.
He demanded those who fielded proxy candidates to defeat each other in recent DDC election should be taken to task.
