JAMMU, Feb 7: National Conference today said that it is neither the creation of an outside sponsor, nor the baby of any agency as it owes its strength to the people of the State.
“We are not the baby of any agency, nor the creation of any outside sponsor. We owe our existence and power to common masses of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh and we only bank upon the public support,” NC working president’s Political advisor Tanvir Sadiq said in a statement.
“It’s amusing to see people who are in league with the communal forces, who are remote controlled by a saffron party were forming an unholy alliance. It only suggests that they are simply returning the favour to their founder masters by being a weaker partner in the alliance and letting the saffron party dictate terms” Mr Tanvir added.
“Are they finding it embarrassing to admit before the people and convince them on joining hands to form the Government after indulging in fierce attacks against each other”, he questioned.
“The two parties got so much entangled in creating hype over the issues of Article 370, uniform civil code, revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act and dialogue with Pakistan for resolving Kashmir issue that they have become deaf and dumb now as to how to retract from rhetoric.
Hitting PDP for politicising Afzal Gurus hanging Tanvir said the whimpers of PDP about the hanging of Guru are nothing but a political gimmick and Afzal’s legal fight started and ended in Mufti’s tenure, adding Afzal was convicted and sentenced during tenure of PDP.
“Afzal’s legal fight started in Mufti’s tenure . Neither Mufti nor PDP raised so much so a whimper of a voice when Afzal was fighting his legal battle,” Tanveer said adding that today they have the audacity to talk about his hanging after selling their conscience for a tie-up with BJP in Rajya Sabha elections.
