Farooq first Kashmiri politician to partner with RSS-BJP: Vakil

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Jan 18: President of Jammu Kashmir Bachao Tehreek and former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil today said that National Conference president Farooq Abdullah was the first politician from Kashmir to partner with the BJP and its ideological mentor Rashstriya Sewak Sangh for the sake of power and hence lacks moral authority to seek votes in the name of fighting rightwing forces.
Reacting strongly to Abdullah’s remarks that next election would be a direct fight between NC and RSS, Vakil said NC was befooling and hoodwinking the people of Kashmir right from 1947. “Farooq Abdullah has been changing colours like chameleons to grab power . He is once again out to befool the people in the name of fighting against rightwing forces. He has rendered every service to earn goodwill of RSS. Kashmiris know it was Farooq Abdullah who chanted slogans of “Bharat Matta Ki Jai’’ before BJP-RSS bosses in New Delhi,” he said, adding Abdullah didn’t hesitate to say that he is ready to lay the foundation stone of Ram Mandir to please RSS and Jan Sanghis.
Claiming that Abdullah’s pro-RSS statements have hurt the sentiments of Muslims of India and Jammu & Kashmir, Vakil said Farooq h joined hands with BJP to get his son Omar Abdullah inducted in Union Council of Ministers and even expelled Saifuddin Soz from the party for toppling the RSS Government. “ Omar Abdullah did not even protest when BJP-led Government threw the autonomy resolution into dustbin. The NC can go to any extent to grab power,” he said,
Addressing working committee of the party at TulsiBagh Srinagar, Vakil lambasted NC leadership for exploiting people in the name of protection of Article 370. “NC is one of the eroders of the Article 370 while its all –weather friend Congress is the chief architect in undermining and bulldozing the special status of J&K,” he said, adding that people of Kashmir will never forgive NC, Congress and PDP for extending Central laws to Jammu and Kashmir through constitutional applications.
Besides others, who addressed the convention, included spokesperson Hakim Parvez, Zonal president Ghulam Hassan Lone and District organizer Gh Mohd Shagoo.
