Coming down heavily on NC and PDP for their opportunistic politics to save their “dynasty throne”, senior Vice President President of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Conference and former minister Abdul Gani Vakil said these two parties have once again got exposed before the people of Jammu and Kashmir as the PAGD once formed for restoration of Article 370 and 35A turned out to be an secret pact of NC and PDP to save two-family rule. Vakil alleged that NC and PDP have always preferred uncertainty in J&K and never wanted peace as they have the “lust for power” to loot state exchequer and shower benefits to their kith and kins.
Addressing a party Workers Convention at Zaloora Zainageer in Rafiabad, Vakil asked the people to identify those political parties who have, through their successive regimes, enormously weakened Article 370 simply to appease their lords in Delhi for the lust of power. He said NC and PDP pushed J&K to trouble for the sake of power. “The prevailing chaos and confusion is the gift of NC and PDP to J&K. This is the result of what they achieved in successive regimes,” said the former minister accusing the National Conference and PDP of befooling common people by lies, deceit and fallacy in lieu of power and conveniently turn their backs when they are entrusted with it. He said Kashmir was reaping what NC and PDP had sown over the years by surrendering the special status of the state for the lust of power.
“Abdullah and Mufti dynasty will stoop to any level to barter the interests of the state – a feat repeatedly undertaken by each generation as long as it ensures their continuity in power”, Vakil added.
Vakil appealed to the people to strengthen Peoples Conference because it is the only party which has the strong leadership to fight the duplicity of NC and PDP leadership.
Addressing the gathering DDC Chairman Kupwara and Sr. PC leader Irfan Panditpori said “People of J&K have been trapped in the post August 5, 2019 situation. The PC will stand up for them in our united quest to retrieve back that is rightfully ours,” he said, adding, “We at the PC believe that existing changelessness is a big challenge and an even bigger challenge is navigating a dignified way out of the web of disempowerment.” added Irfan.
Besides others who addressed the gathering include Retired DFO Mushtaq Ahmad Lone, BDC Chairman Ghulam Mohammad Mir, Fayaz Ahmad Incharge Sopore Constituency, Sr. PC leaders Bashir Ahmad Dar retd. Tehsildar, Tariq Ahmad Mir Hatchepori, Youth Leader Umar Rashid Rafiabadi and several others.
