‘PDP-BJP’ plunged J&K into political uncertainty: Saroori

Excelsior Correspondent
KISHTWAR, Nov 5:  Former Minister and MLA Inderwal Ghulam Mohd Saroori today said that PDP-BJP Coalition has plunged the Jammu and Kashmir into unprecedented political uncertainty.
Addressing party workers during the joining function of several BJP leaders and activists of the area into the Congress fold, Mr Saroori said that polarization in politics may earn certain short term gains to politicians with myopic interests but in the long run such tendencies do not only boomerang but also prove detrimental to the larger interests of the people and the State.
“This has been proved by the opportunistic alliance of PDP-BJP which at end of the day has plunged Jammu and Kashmir into unprecedented political uncertainty”, Saroori  said adding that if the two parties could not pull together for just two years, how could they steer the sensitive State like Jammu and Kashmir to peace and progress.
He described the joining of BJP workers into Congress fold as yearning among cross section of people to join Congress, a symbol of secular credentials. He urged the party workers to fan out in their respective areas, identify problems of the people and seek their redressal at appropriate forums, especially in the wake of mandated political parties like PDP-BJP shunning their moral and constitutional responsibilities and leaving the people in lurch.  Mr Saroori hoped that their joining into party fold, the Congress party would be further strengthened in Batwari- Chatroo area at grass roots level.
Asserting that Congress stands guarantee to preserving and maintaining time tested secular ethos and regional unity of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, Saroori made a clarion call to all those believing in unique characteristics of the State to get united under its banner to fight divisive forces.
Congress leaders Ch Noor Din, Abdul Gani, Bashir Ahmed, Mohd Mateen Butt, Mohd Aslam and Khalid Hussain were also present on the occasion.
