PDP condemns PSA extension of Naeem
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, May 8: While condemning the J&K UT Administration move to extend the detention of former minister Naeem Akhtar under Public Safety Act, Peoples Democratic Party today said that the Kashmir chaos theory of ruling Bhartiya Janata Party is not only bound to fail but it will have serious ramifications as well.
“The latest move to extend the detention of senior PDP leader and former minister Naeem Akhtar for another three months, is an indication of BJP’s political vendetta against the mainstream political leadership of Kashmir”, former legislator and party spokesperson Firdous Tak said in a statement here.
Tak said PDP leadership has always stood against the designs of RSS and now the ruling party was finding it appropriate to “settle its political vengeance”. “It is now clear that the Union Government was not willing for any kind of political outreach in Jammu and Kashmir as such it is continuing with the illegal and unjust detentions of mainstream leadership in the erstwhile State”.
The party, he said, has time and again reminded those at the helm of affairs in New Delhi that there cannot be any alternative to political outreach and public sentiments cannot be curbed by force. “The continued detention of senior political leaders including former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, Shah Faisal, Sartaj Madani, Peerzada Mansoor and house arrest of others will not help the BJP’s proxies to expand its roots in Kashmir politics”, he said.
“BJP is working on implementation of chaos theory in Kashmir under which the mainstream political leadership are either to be discredited or silenced, media arm-twisted, democratic institutions smashed and administrative machinery hijacked”, Tak said, adding that under this agenda the aspirations of people are to be curbed and new political aspirations pushed.
