Says People of J&K must be cautious of the NC’s past role in our disempowerment
Srinagar 18 April( KNB): The Jammu and Kashmir People’s Conference (JKPC) senior leader Dr Bashir Ahmed Chalkoo while reacting to the statement made by NC President Dr Farooq Abdullah that their political vision is etched with the welfare of people of J&K said that the reality is quite the opposite and for 70 years.
According to statement Chalkoo said, “NC leadership has been the chief architect of disempowerment of Kashmiris through their long-held relationships with multiple parties in Delhi.”he said
Chalkoo said that the NC leadership has worked tirelessly to safeguard their personal interests and interests of Delhi in Kashmir while disregarding the aspirations of the people of J&K.
“The events of 1975, 1987, and 1996 are a testament to this fact. The NC leadership has consistently bartered the interests of Kashmiris for achieving power. Their only mantra has been power at any cost. Look at their regimes, be it after 1975 when NC government unleashed anti-people measures to silence the critics of the 1975 accord, be it after 1987 to silence the victims of rigged elections, or after 1996 when an unholy alliance between NC and Delhi led to unimaginable bloodshed and pain in Kashmir”, he added.
Chalkoo further said that the NC leadership has also failed to protect the political, social, and cultural interests of the diverse sections of J&K’s society from all regions and religions, as claimed by Dr Farooq Abdullah.
“Instead, they have only served their own interests and those of their political allies in Delhi”, he added.
Chalkoo urged the people of J&K to be cautious of the NC’s past role in our disempowerment. He added
“The people of J&K must see through the NC’s false claims and not be misled by their rhetoric. The NC has shown time and again that they care only for their own power and interests, and not for the welfare of the people of J&K”. statement further added. KNB
