Kulgam, April 22: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah on Monday addressed a election rallies at Yaripora area of South Kashmiri’s Kulgam district.
The programmes were organised by party’s spokesperson Imran Nabi dar and other senior leaders including Party candidate for Anantnag Rajouri Mian Altaf were also present on the occasion
Criticising PDP for its duplicity, Omar said, “Before pointing figures at us they should see if their hands are clean. Their swear words on unity have proven hollow. Had they been concerned about defeating BJP, they wouldn’t have contested elections. In every speech Mehbooba Mufti says that the National Conference is selfish, because we said that the three seats that the National Conference has already won should be our candidates. Now, if we are selfish, are the Congressmen also selfish, they are also standing with us on this seat, is Tarigami also selfish who has announced to support Mian Altaf Ahmed?
Speaking about Mehbooba Mufti, Omar Abdullah said, “Don’t make excuses, if we are selfish, then tell the people here whether the National Conference did not extend a hand of friendship to the PDP to keep the BJP out in 2014. Can you deny the fact that we made an unconditional offer to PDP to form the government? Our aim was to somehow keep BJP out of Jammu and Kashmir. We had said in clear words that we don’t want ministry.
We were doing all this to save Jammu and Kashmir from BJP’s conspiracies. In the end, what we feared and what we tried to explain to people during the 2014 election campaign happened. BJP came to power here and abolished Article 370 and 35A. Now it is up to the people here to decide which party showed selfishness and which party aided and abetted the BJP in undermining the special position of this historic state,” he said.
