‘PDP sold its conscience, ideology to BJP for political power’
National Conference leader & District President Ramban Sajjad Shaheen has said that it was National Conference that could fight to safeguard the political interests and sentiments of Jammu and Kashmir at a juncture where brazen calls were being made to abrogate Article 370 and make amendments in the State Subject Law that protects J&K’s demographic character.
According to a statement, while addressing block office bearers of Banihal constituency Shaheen said “It was National Conference that waged a selfless war against tyranny and oppression and rid this State of the humiliation of monarchy and feudalism. We started our struggle against the indignity of autocracy and we went on to ensure that our peasants are freed from the clutches of feudal slavery and it was Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah who sacrificed his entire life for the honour of our people. Today, we stand at another threshold of a litmus test where everything we have stood for and rendered sacrifices for is being threatened not only by BJP but also its local PDP stooges, only to support RSS driven BJP’s aims to abrogate Article 370 and to inflict irreparable damage on our State Subject Law which protects our State’s demographic and cultural character”.
Shaheen said that National Conference has a holistic vision for the State’s political, economic and cultural development that is based on the bedrock of our political individuality. He said that National Conference would not allow any political force on the face of this earth to toy around with the political sentiments, aspirations and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. “We have always been a party that has found its strength from the indomitable and honourable struggle of the common-man against all adversities and we will continue to live and die by the aspirations of our people”.
While BJP’s politics of tyranny, hate and divisiveness has become a scourge across the country, it is tragic that PDP has become an accomplice in furthering this communal agenda in the country’s only Muslim majority State that has a unique legacy of amity, secularism and tolerance. PDP has sold its conscience, ideology and identity to the BJP for political power and today the State is bearing the consequences of this sell-out. However, PDP should know that people of the state are conscious to the well established fact that PDP was invented and established by the BJP to weaken, fragment and bifurcate the voice and representation of the people of J&K, Shaheen said.
