SRINAGAR, Dec 10: Describing the recent spurt in militancy as outcome of the betrayal and wrong policies of the PDP, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president GA Mir today blamed the Coalition Government for the current turbulent situation in the Valley.
Addressing a day-long party convention in North Kashmir’s Baramulla district today, Mir said, “The wrong policies of the PDP-BJP Government in the State has resulted in a sudden rise in militancy related incidents and isolation of the masses. During 2014 elections, PDP sought votes from the people on the promise of stopping BJP and RSS from coming to power in the J&K. However, as soon the elections were over, same PDP for the sake of power betrayed the mandate of people and entered into an unholy alliance with the Saffron Party.”
“As soon the elections were over, people of the State came to know about the hidden agenda of this party (PDP), it led to their alienation. The subsequent U-turns by floating different stories on the formation of the Government with the BJP has exposed the PDP before the people leading to the unrest in the Valley,” Mir added.
Expressing serious concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the Valley, the State Congress chief said PDP cannot escape the responsibility of the losses caused to both life and property in the last five-month unrest. “Though the unrest is still going on in some areas, PDP is least bothered about it and is doing whatever it benefits them,” Mir said.
“Despite the resentment and anger against the PDP, for its false promises with the people, the party (PDP) is trying to portray different picture of the situation in Kashmir. The PDP is trying to shift the blame of its failures on the people especially opposition, which is not only unfortunate, but highly condemnable,” he added.
The PCC president said that not only human rights violation were on rise, but political killings were being encouraged by the PDP to secure power. However, he warned the PDP that such kind of atrocities won’t be tolerated any longer. He alleged that thousands youth have been lodged in jails and many booked under PSA.
Former PCC president Peerzada Mohd Syeed, MLA GM Saroori, MLC G N Monga, Usman Majeed, Farooq Andrabi also spoke on the occasion.
