SRINAGAR, Nov 26: The National Conference today condemned the misleading propaganda against Party President Dr Farooq Abdullah and vice President Omar Abdullah saying BJP was resorting to lies and fabrication to hoodwink people in view of ongoing DDC elections.
In a joint statement, Party General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar, Provincial Presidents Nasir Aslam Wani, Devender Singh Rana and others condemned the malicious campaign against Dr Farooq, Omar Abdullah and said its reflective of BJP’s jittery in wake of the resounding support PAGD headed by Dr Abdullah is receiving from all regions of Jammu and Kashmir.
The leaders said that the Party President and his family are not the beneficiaries of the Roshni Scheme. They said the character assassination was aimed with ulterior motives to get electoral benefits. “The hyper campaigning of BJP leadership and Union Ministers reveals shakeup the BJP is undergoing on account of the support PAGD is receiving from different quarters. Unlike other parts of the country, BJP cannot get away with lies here. It goes without saying that the false propaganda is only meant to help BJP sail through the DDC elections and escape the wrath of people whom they have failed on all accounts. The malicious propaganda is short-lived and will die out on its own once the DDC elections are over,” they said.
The leaders said the BJP’s aversion for Muslims of the country and the plural ethos of the country is well known and not hidden from any one. “The ruling BJP has only been busy supplanting its Gujarat Model on the country by undermining the country’s Constitution. Its only agenda is to disempower minorities, coming up with legislations against inter community marriages, turning blind fold to countrywide lynching’s against Muslims, dismembering and downgrading only Muslim majority J&K. BJP, RSS want a monotonous country shorn of plurality and sees the Muslim majority character of J&K an impediment to achieve that end,” they added.
Mian Altaf Ahmed, Abdul Rahim Rather, Muhammad Shafi Uri; Party’s Members of Parliament Muhammad Akbar Lone, and Hasnain Masoodi, Women’s Wing president Shameema Firdous are among signatories to the joint statement.
