URI, Apr 30: Saying that every vote cast in favour of National Conference in the current Lok Sabha elections in Kashmir valley will be a vote for paving the way to make All India Congress, Vice President, Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister of the Country, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who is also Working President of National Conference today said that the leadership of PDP is part of a tactical understanding aimed to bring Narendra Modi to power.
“Infact PDP is the hidden face of BJP and its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in Jammu and Kashmir “, Omar said and added that BJP wants to implement its anti-Jammu and Kashmir agenda through the PDP leadership as it did earlier in 2002 during the Chief Ministership of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
Addressing election rallies and workers meeting in Uri, Baramulla and Sangrama, he said that the alliance between National Conference and Congress is aimed at safeguarding the country’s pluralistic ethos and keeping communal and anti-Jammu and Kashmir forces away from the power in New Delhi.
Omar Abdullah said in contrast PDP, for the thirst of power is in league with communal forces represented by BJP to help Narendra Modi to become the Prime Minister of India. He said that deceptive politics and double faced strategy of PDP for power politics has got unearthed in the current Lok Sabha elections when PDP fielded its candidates in Jammu and Udhampur constituencies against Congress-NC joint candidates, Madan Lal Sharma and Ghulam Nabi Azad to effect a division in votes and help BJP.
“You have to read between the lines and understand this clandestine bonhomie between Narendra Modi and PDP leadership”, Omar Abdullah told the people asking them to foil the designs of these two parties to divide the people for their vested interests.
Describing Rahul Gandhi as an honest statesman and a true and tested friend of Jammu and Kashmir and an ideal representative of the secular, democratic traditons of India, Omar Abdullah said that our efforts should be to make him the Prime Minister of the country by exercising our franchise in favour of NC-Congress joint candidates and defeating communal forces. He said that the people of the State have to vote in favour of Rahul Gandhi to ensure peace and stability and liberal help to the State for its holistic and comprehensive development and this can be possible when we return NC-Congress joint candidates to the Parliament.
“A person like Narendra Modi nurturing a particular ideology and being totalitarian in approach cannot suit a secular and democratic India where various sections of the society are living in harmony since centuries”, he said.
Addressing the gathering,Prof. Saif-ud-Din Soz said that this was the time when the people should think about the value of their vote at this critical juncture of Indian history, as Narendra Modi had unleashed sectarian and communalforces to damage the secular fabric of India.
Prof. Soz hoped that Narendra Modi can not occupy the Prime Minister’s chair, as Secular India would unite to defeat the fascist designs of Narinder Modi. He urged the people to vote for coalition candidate Sharief-ud-Din Shariq in large numbers, so that Uri gives an unbeatable lead in votes.
Prof. Soz reminded the people that Congress party had already contributed to the developmental needs of Uri during Taj Mohi-ud-Din’s tenure and this tempo would be maintained for future.
