Taking a dig at Tariq Hamid Karra for terming present dispensation as communal, People’s Democratic Party legislator from Srinagar’s Zadibal Constituency Abid Hussain Ansari Tuesday said that it was Mr Karra who talked to BJP point man Ram Madhav on government formation in Jammu and Kashmir, as per local news gatherer CNS. 
“It was Karra who persuaded reluctant Mehbooba to renew alliance with BJP. Where his conscience had gone then, when he held dozens of meeting with top brass of BJP to pave way for the PDP-BJP Government formation in the State,” Ansari told adding that Karra was demanding Finance portfolio and his resignation was not surprising at all.
“For over two months after the death Mufti Muhammad Sayeed, our party leader Mehbooba Mufti maintained silence over government formation. It was Tariq Hamid Karra who played a key role and requested Mehbooba Mufti to go ahead with BJP. Was BJP then secular when he (Karra) held closed door meetings with the top leaders of BJP? How BJP became communal for him after his resignation,” Ansari questioned and revealed that it was again Tariq Hamid Karra who joined hands with BJP to nominate few PDP leaders as Rajya Sabha members.
