SRINAGAR, Feb 7: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today condemned slapping of Public Safety Act (PSA) against the already incarcerated leadership in Jammu and Kashmir including its President Mehbooba Mufti, terming such a Government action undemocratic, unprincipled and reflection of anarchist politics.
In Jammu, meeting of senior PDP leaders was held in which the party General Secretary Surinder Choudhary termed such a Government action as a clarion call for all saner voices in Jammu and Kashmir’s political landscape to unite and stand up against such a ruthless fascism which is talking toll at present. He said that the PSA against Mehbooba Mufti, Omar Abdullah, Dr Farooq and Sartaj Madni is a clear attempt by the Government to undermine institutions of justice, democracy and fair play. “Never ever was the need felt so desperately as is today for the political leadership of Jammu and Kashmir to unite against such an erosion of democratic values and in unison defeat the nefarious designs aimed at turning Jammu and Kashmir into hub of anarchy and political uncertainty. While the wounds caused by the assault against JK’s unique position were still reeking, the new blow has bruised people’s hearts and minds beyond repair. If the remedial measures aren’t taken by the BJP without delay, the situation could anytime take shape of an inferno,” said Choudhary.
He said that PDP is mulling to contact other political groups so that a joint strategy is devised that could foil BJP’s such unconstitutional and undemocratic measures with impeccable will and courage.
He added that the PDP will continue to make strenuous efforts to get Jammu and Kashmir out of the vicious cycle of uncertainty and chaos and is united like never before to support its President Mehbooba Mufti amid the present precarious period.
The leaders who took part in the meeting, included R K Bali, Vijay Dogra, Narinder Singh, Satpal Charak, Firdous Tak, S S Sarangal, Rajinder Chib, Rajan Lalotra, Sohan Lal, Sachin Bhagat, Devinder Dogara, Sunil Fangotra, Dr Harbaksh Singh, Sunil Bhat and others.
