JAMMU: National Conference president and former Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullahon today blamed PDP-BJP Government for bringing unprecedented crisis in the State and sought meaningful dialogue for ending political uncertainty in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Alongside opening the channels of dialogue with Pakistan, the Centre must talk to all the stake-holders including Hurriyat Conference”, Dr Abdullah said while addressing a public rally at Ragooda in Nagrota Assembly Constituency here on city outskirts.
He came down heavily on those criticizing him for advocating dialogue with Hurriyat Conference, asking why a finger is not being raised against PDP-BJP duo, which has incorporated this as one of the measures to deal with Kashmir problem in their Agenda of Alliance.
He blamed the coalition for bringing the state to unprecedented crisis and unleashing rein of suppression, not only in the Kashmir Valley but also in the Jammu region.
In this context, he referred to killing of nearly a hundred youth, blinding of 300 youngsters and detention of over 12,000 people in the Valley during the past nearly five months and harassment being caused to weaker sections of society in Jammu by threatening their eviction from the lands rehabilitated by their ancestors’ decades ago.
“Aren’t these people Dogras and integral part of the Jammu society, who are at the receiving end due to whims and fantasies of the coalition dispensation”, Dr Abdullah said and warned that continuation of eviction drive will have serious ramifications. (AGENCIES)
