SRINAGAR, Apr 22: Accusing National Conference leaders of facilitating individual and collective execution of Kashmiris, senior PDP leader and former Finance Minister Tariq Hameed Karra today said the former Union Home Secretary RK Singh’s revelation that Afzal Guru was hanged with the consent of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has made it shockingly clear that NC leaders want bloodbath to continue in Kashmir as it suits their political interests.
“Having lost the public support, NC leaders seem to have ironically turned hangmen for Kashmiris. While Mohammad Maqbool Bhat was hanged on February 11, 1984 with the consent of then Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah, his son Omar Abdullah got Afzal Guru executed for the lust of power”, Karra said while addressing election road shows in Ganderbal and Batamaloo segments of Srinagar Parliamentary constituency.
Karra said onus now lies with Omar Abdullah and his father Dr Farooq Abdullah to come clean on the appalling revelations made by the former Home Secretary vis-à-vis their role in the secret execution of Guru.
He said it was again NC which fuelled a full-fledged armed uprising in late eighties with the massive rigging of 1987 Assembly polls resulting in a tragic trail of death and destruction across Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that the people have to decide whether they will allow NC to continue with its gory machinations or stamp-out this vicious circle of death and destruction once for all.
He said 2014 offers a great opportunity for the people of the State to put an end to this menace, through the use of ballot.
“If elected to Lok Sabha, I will advocate problems of people in the Parliament and let India know what is happening on the streets of Kashmir” he added.
Senior PDP leader and former Forest Minister Qazi Mohammad Afzal also addressed the rallies.
