`J&K to see destruction only till PDP-BJP remains in power’
JAMMU, Apr 17: National Conference working president Omar Abdullah, while reiterating the demand of his father Dr Farooq Abdullah, stated that the situation had gone out of control and Governor’s rule must be imposed in the state to normalise it (situation).
“The present dispensation has failed to control the situation and till they (PDP-BJP) remain in power, the state will witness only destruction,” Omar told reporters outside the assembly secretariat here this morning.
He was here to participate in the biennial elections to the Legislative Council for two seats of Jammu province.
Omar further said that the situation in present government’s rule had gone worst.
“This government cannot rule properly in the state. For the first time this has happened that police had to issue such an advisory, asking cops not to go to their homes. Policemen cannot go home to meet their families. So, what else proof is required that situation is out of control? This government has failed to hold peaceful parliamentary polls. The Lok Sabha seat itself left by Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti is still vacant and has not yet filled,” he added.
“In the present situation, there is only darkness around, nothing else. Despite such a situation in Kashmir valley, Mehbooba Mufti is holding the chief ministerial chair and it is shameful for her. Soon after Srinagar Lok Sabha polls results were announced, Dr Farooq Abdullah demanded that either Mehbooba Mufti should resign or her government should be dismissed. The Governor should intervene. Governor’s Rule must be imposed to normalise the situation as the government has failed on all fronts,” Omar further alleged.
On a question that the government blamed the National Conference for the prevailing turmoil, Omar said, “Had any NC worker been arrested or booked so far in any of the cases for these allegations? The constituencies dominated by the National Conference like Chadoora or Charar-e-Sharief…we got small number of votes there.”
“From Eidgah–we got less than 400 votes. If we had created disturbance, we would have done it in PDP dominated areas, not those where NC has its hold. These allegations are only excuses, but the truth is that situation has gone out of government’s control. They have failed at all,” said the former Chief Minister.
On attack on political workers and Shopian attack, NC working president said, “Attack on political workers is from the day militancy had started. In Shopian, the public prosecutor was attacked, whether for his any political affiliation or being a public prosecutor, he had given any wrong judgement for which he paid the price, is needed to be probed.”
