PDP trying to sabotage statehood resolution: NC

Srinagar, Jan 14: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference state spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar on Tuesday strongly condemned People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti for her public outburst against Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s “dedicated efforts” to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
“We are in this situation because of the ill-conceived moves of PDP,” Dar said while addreeing the media press at the party headquarters here.
He slammed Mufti, saying, “PDP is clearly rattled by CM Omar Sahib’s relentless efforts to restore statehood. Omar Sahib’s call for the restoration of statehood has caused quite a stir, especially among the PDP. It is his rightful duty to advocate for this cause, and his approach was both dignified and official. It’s a stark contrast to the obsequious language used by Mehbooba Ji when she was CM, which often bordered on cringe-worthy when addressing the Government of India. It seems like Omar Sahib is taking a more direct and assertive approach, and it’s definitely making waves in the political arena.”
Imran said that PDP and its leadership have been consistently rejected by the people in election after election, from DDC to parliament to legislative assembly elections. “It’s like the pot calling the kettle black. No amount of whataboutery will change the fact that the people have clearly said ‘thanks, but no thanks’ to PDP and its policies time and time again,” he said.
The NC spokesperson added, “It is high time for PDP to gracefully take a back seat, which the people have kindly relocated the party to, and let Omar Abdullah’s government work on restoring what was snatched from us due to the deceptions of PDP. This whole theatrical performance won’t make a lick of difference in the end. People see through her charades and won’t be fooled.”
