SRINAGAR, July 28: The general secretary of J&K National Conference Ali Mohd Sagar launched a scathing attack on the PDP, accusing it of facilitating the BJP’s entry into Jammu and Kashmir and enabling the erosion of constitutional and democratic rights in the region.
Speaking during an interaction with party leaders, office bearers, workers, and delegations from Tral, Budgam, Ganderbal, Kupwara, Handwara, and Pulwama here today, Sagar said that the PDP and BJP had formed a covert alliance even before the 2014 elections, the effects of which were devastating for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“The people of Jammu and Kashmir once lived with peace and dignity, but the events since 2015 have pushed them into an era of suffering and suppression. Those who once raised slogans of peace and dignity have themselves taken its funeral from this land,” Sagar said.
He blamed PDP for inviting the BJP to power, which he said led to the state’s division into two Union Territories, restrictions on press freedom and religious liberty, and the imposition of an undemocratic and bureaucratic system.
Reaffirming his party’s commitment, Sagar emphasized that National Conference has always prioritized the people’s interests, made sacrifices, and stood firm in defending their rights. He assured that NC will continue its struggle for the restoration of democracy and the rights of the people.
Senior leaders present on the occasion included- Ch Mohd Ramzan, MLA Rajpura Ghulam Mohiuddin Mir, Imran Nabi Dar, Jagdish Singh Azad, Mushtaq Mir, Sheikh Ovais and various block presidents.
