Srinagar, Oct 6: Senior National Conference (NC) leader and MLA from Habba Kadal constituency Shameema Firdous today alleged that Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) and RSS are behind the killing of two of her party workers.
The NC MLA Shameema Firdous while addressing a press conference here said, “I have no hesitation to say that BJP and RSS killed my workers. I have no doubt about it.”
Shameema said that the assassination of her workers was a well planned conspiracy to discourage people and National Conference from participating in the Assembly elections.
Hitting out at Governor Satya Pal Malik and police for making false claims of security arrangements, Shameema said that the gunmen came to the locality twice to shoot her party cadres. “Where was the police? Where were security checkpoints created? What happened to the assurances of Governor of free, fair and secure polls?”
“No militant outfit has claimed responsibility for these killings. Government and the Governor are equally responsible for the killing of my workers,” Shemeema said.
Shameema said that BJP was going all out to ensure victory in the municipal and local body polls which her party has boycotted over the issue of Article-35A. “We had no connection with election process but BJP had. A BJP leader admitted that his party has fielded candidates as independents. They are doing everything to win these polls,” she said.
The NC leader asked Governor to order a probe and ensure that the killers of her two innocent workers are unmasked.
Meanwhile, a delegation of National Conference led by General Secretary Haji Ali Muhammad Sagar visited the families of Nazir Ahmad Bhat and Mushtaq Ahmad Wani who were killed in the Habba Kadal locality of Srinagar.
The General Secretary was accompanied by Additional General Secretary Sheikh Mustafa Kamal, Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani, senior leader and MLA Eidgah Mubarak Gul, Women’s Wing President Shameema Firdous, Central Secretary Irfan Shah, District President Srinagar Peer Afaaq Ahmad and Provincial President Women’s Wing Sabia Qadri.
Sharing the sorrow with the grief stricken families, Sagar said, “The party’s rank and file stand in unison with the bereaved families. The deceased had dedicated their lives for the cause of development and progress of the people.”
