NC, PDP equally responsible for weakening of JK’s special status: Er Rasheed
Handwara: AwamiIttehad Party (AIP) President Er. Rasheed on Sunday accused National Conference (NC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on being in hand-in-glove with the New Delhi so that special status of Jammu and Kashmir can be eroded.
Addressing an election rally at Chinar Park, Handwrara, Er. Rasheed said that at the time of much talked grand alliance, to form the government, NC and PDP were never sincere. Both of them had an understanding with New Delhi to continue with the Governor’s rule so that the special status of state is eroded and pro-resistance voices are suppressed without involving NC, PDP or Peoples Conference (PC) in the entire dirty show.
He said that the upcoming parliamentary election will be a cross-check about the sincerity of Kashmiris, who have been blaming NC, PDP and PC “as mother of all evils”.
Rasheed asked the people to decide whether they want to support proxies of New Delhi and agents of extremist forces or want him to represent them in the parliament.
He asked people to vote for AIP in the upcoming parliamentary election for restoration of dignity, honor and rights of people of J&K.
“It looks strange that all the three parties (NC, PDP, and PC) are now trying to show sympathy with Kashmiris and are leaving no chance to abuse Delhi, whom they have been encouraging and facilitating behind the curtains to destroy self-respect of Kashmiris,” he said.
He said whether it is the banning of Jamat-e-Islami or JKLF, or harassing MirwaizUmerFarooq, NC and PDP are the real architects of all these conspiracies.
Rasheed asked people to rise to the occasion and discharge their duties by taking a decision of their conscience and reject all those who are equal stake holders in destroying Kashmir.
“My ten years in the state assembly are like an open book and masses must make a difference between friends and the foes. While NC is trying to create fear psychosis among Kashmiris by discussing BJP’s hyper nationalism, PC is dividing Kashmiris on ethnic and sectarian lines to gain votes,” he said
“Both PDP and PC need not to forget that they are partners in crime and have been coalition partners of BJP till the last second and now crying victim and exploiting sentiments of Kashmiris is the old traditional dirty politics, Kashmiris have been subjected to since 1947,” he added.
Er. Rasheed accused successive governments of ignoring Kupwara district and using people of Kupwara as just a vote bank.
“Those claiming to be savers of Kupwara should answer if BJP could create a separate division for Ladakh region why couldn’t Handwara get a district. While Late Mufti Sahab’s regime ignored Kupwara on every front, Omer Abdullah’s six years were no way different. The promises of getting a medical college, university campus, four lane road, railway link, tunnel for Karnah and maternity hospital proved nothing except false promises and a tool of exploiting sentiments of people of Kupwara,” he added.
