Srinagar, Mar 25 : National Conference Vice President and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday sought clarifications from PDP President and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on fake permanent resident certificate (PRC), which was exposed by NC leader and a former PDP minister Basharat Bukhari, raids by NIA against separatists, implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and execution of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed Food Entitlement Scheme (MMSFES).
Addressing an election rally in North Kashmir’s Baramulla district, Omar hit out at PDP President and another former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and sought from her clarifications over fake Permanent Resident certificate recently (PRC) scam unraveled by a National Conference leader and former Revenue Minister Basharat Bukhari.
Omar asked if Mehbooba could not initiate action on fake PRC Sam then how come she would defend Article 370 and Article 35A.?
Omar said “Mehbooba can’t reply these questions”, adding tbat she bulldozed special status of the State by implementing the central food supplies scheme code named Mufti Mohammad Food Entitlement Scheme (MMSFES), and Goods and Services Tax which have choked the economy of poor people.
Launching a frontal attack on Mehbooba Mufti over misuse of National Investigative Agency (NIA) during PDP-BJP coalition rule in the state Omar said, “she while in power allowed NIA to raid the residences of separatists and arrest them under draconian laws’, adding that” as Chief Minister I used NIA for the release of Pak trained militants not for the raids at the residences of separatists and arresting them under stringent laws.”
Omar also hit out at Peoples Conference Chairman for sending a letter on government to Governor to head a BJP government and sabotage the takeover by Altaf Bukhari as Chief Minister of “PDP-Congress-NC” government in the state adding that “Sajad Lone now wants seats from Kashmir for BJP.”
“Sajjad Lone also sent the letter. Who were supporting him? He (Lone) had support of all the BJP MLAs. So it is very clear that voting Sajjad Lone will be voting for Modi. Who will here support BJP and Modi who are adamant to erode Article 370,” he said.
Omar said that the BJP has a clear policy to revoke Article 35-A, and destroy the special status and identity of Jammu and Kashmir. “Will you people support these BJP backed people?” Omar told the gathering.
Omar asked people to vote for the parliament member who will fight for the special status of J&K in parliament, for your rights, for your identity and for your development.
Omar went on saying that in north Kashmir, he sees only one candidate in the field and the candidate is the one who even at times makes “my blood pressure high”, and that candidate is Akbar Lone.
“Akbar Lone is honest at heart…He speaks what is in his heart… ladaku nahi hai, shararti nahi hai,” he said.
