SRINAGAR, Apr 25: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) senior leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Muzaffar Hussain Baig has said it was PDP which forced Dr Farooq Abdullah through its positive agenda of peace to change his language of war that he has been following for years to endear himself to hoax in Delhi.
Addressing well-attended public meetings in Seeri Waripora and Khaipora villages of Tangmarg segment of Baramulla Lok Sabha constituency, Baig said it was ridiculous of Dr Farooq Abdullah to have said that Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was a hurdle in Indo-Pak friendship.
“Dr Farooq was the one Chief Minister who had made it a standard of recommendation to attack Pakistan. Whether the issue related to mis-governance, corruption or the atrocities that his Government committed against the people of Jammu & Kashmir till 2002, Abdullah would suggest bombing of Pakistan as the only solution to these problems”, said Baig.
He claimed that the NC leadership changed its language and started talking of resolution only after the PDP made it part of its manifesto in 2002 to convert Kashmir into a bridge of friendship between India and Pakistan.
Reiterating his resolve to fight for the rights of the State that were systematically surrendered by NC leadership in pursuit of power, Baig said PDP would pursue it at all forums, on the streets, in the Assembly and in the Parliament. “NC sold the very soul of the State by gifting water resources to the NHPC, which generated billions from it and Jammu & Kashmir having slept into perpetual darkness as a result”, he said.
Baig alleged that the NC through all its accords right from the Delhi Agreement of 1952, had only surrendered the rights of the State and got nothing in return for the people except power and luxuries to build personal fortunes. “After having suffered for generations at the hands of NC’s unchallenged domination, the people are now endorsing PDP’s policies after judging the party’s performance during the 3 year brief stint in power from 2002 to 2005,” he added.
