Mir ‘yes-man’, Soz also has Backing of Army: Kamal
Kashmir Times. Dated: 9/20/2013 11:54:11 PM
SRINAGAR, Sep 20 (CNS): Terming the IB and army as “avowed” enemies of Kashmir, National Conference leader and legislator Dr Mustafa Kamal Friday today alleged that Democratic Party Nationalist (DPN) Chairman, Ghulam Hassan Mir is a ‘yes-man’ of Army.
“Mir has no conscience and he has become the sycophant of India Army. It was known to us but the latest report which exposed Ghulam Hassan Mir has vindicated our stand,” Kamal told a local news agency, CNS, adding that it is not only Mir but State Congress president Saif-u-Din Soz is also enjoying the backing of army and Intelligence Bureau.
Coming down heavily on Mir, Kamal said,”This man (Mir) is hand in glove with army and they are working on a plan to weaken the constitutional and legal position of the state to enslave people of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said adding that the Army and IB have been “consistently conspiring to weaken the party.”
He said it were army that played a key role in keeping National Conference away from power in 2002. “It was the courtesy of army and IB that our party strength came down from 50 to 28 seats. NC is of the view that army has no role in politics and the way army is showing interest in civil affairs would one day lead India towards destruction,” he said.
Additional general secretary of National Conference said always cried and smell foul. One of the national daily today exposed these elements, who are not only anti-Kashmir but anti-NC as well.
Kamal said that his party is not surprised the way the name of Ghulam Hassan Mir surfaced. “It is not Mir only who is ‘Yes-man’ of Army but Saif-u-Soz and others are also enjoying their patronage. Soz is claiming that Congress party would emerge as the single largest party in coming assembly elections. He is making such tall claims because Army and IB backs him. Similarly, PDP patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed has close connections with the army,” Kamal said adding that central government should take stern action against former army chief, Ghulam Hassan Mir and others involved in wrong-doings.
Meanwhile talking to another news agency, KNS, Kamal said Mir should immediately resign but he added that he would not resign since he is power hungry.
