JAMMU : Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president Saif-ud-Din Soz today said power hungry are trying to subvert verdict of people of the state. “It is a worrying situation in which certain power hungry political groups and individuals are trying to subvert the democratic set up, verdict of the people in the just concluded election to the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly,” Prof Soz said in a statement issued here. He said experienced and forward-looking politician like Mufti Mohammad Sayeed should be allowed to lead a coalition government in the state with the support of other like-minded parties. “That way alone the peoples verdict would truly be respected. Jammu and Kashmir state has experienced blackest periods of its recent history through armed militancy and very recent devastating floods that left thousands of people homeless and needy,” he added.
“It is a time when a government should be at the helm to reconstruct the economy, rehabilitate a suffering mass of people and ensure governance that brings relief in the hearts and minds of the people,” said Prof Soz.
He further added that the RSS-BJP leadership would be well-advised to resist the temptation of cobbling a coalition that only deepens the polarisation on religious and regional considerations, which is, to say the least, detrimental to the integrity of the state.
“The RSS-BJP leadership should also appreciate the sensitivity of Jammu and Kashmir and not indulge in any kind of horse-trading, giving priority to the parochial interests,” said the Congress stalwart.
