SRINAGAR, Dec 30:  Former Union Minister and president J&K Pradesh Congress Committee Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz has said that the present situation has yielded  a trump card in Mufti Mohd Sayeed’s hand and it is hoped that Mr Mufti will use the opportunity properly and advantageously.
“I am of the view that the atmosphere in the State is moving to Mufti Mohd Sayeed’s favour and he will adopt a  course which will hopefully be characterized as historic by way of the results on ground,”  PCC chief said in a press statement issued here today.
Prof  Soz said that a vast majority of right thinking people in the National capital (Delhi) now feels that the RSS, known for its ideology, has handed  very difficult agenda to the present set up of the BJP, the implications of which they (the BJP top brass) have started to realize.
While the RSS is giving a grudging consideration to the PDP’s proposals, Mufti Sahib is widely perceived to be a person who will not go wrong on what suits best to the current political consensus that has evolved at a critical stage of his (Mufti’s) long political career.
“I would only like to caution Mufti Mohd Sayeed on the dangers  of a miniscule  minority here (in Kashmir) who suggest development plank for seeking special favour from  the  ruling class in Delhi, if PDP decides to forge  an alliance with the BJP, Mufti Sayeed should reject this short–sightedness and ask these elements to see the facts clearly and know for certain that India is a democracy and its institutions have become strong over the decades. There is no  largesse available to the Prime Minister to offer to those States only which are for the BJP dispensation.
“The PDP as a party must also appreciate the fact that there is a vast secular space in Jammu and it happens to be a  large asset and a unifying factor to the J&K State. I feel convinced that Mufti Sahib will, under no circumstances, cripple the goose  that will certainly lay the Golden egg as the chosen leader of the State,” Soz suggested.
