Commenting over the “threat” given by the chief minister Omar Abdullah that he will resign if congress fails to submit its report on the creation of new administrative units in the state, Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) Wednesday termed it “a hollow threat and a drama to impress people by the non-existent heroism”.
“If he (Omar) had moral courage, he had much better reasons to resign earlier,” said chief spokesman PDP Naeem Akhtar, adding that Omar could have resigned at the time of execution of Afzal Guru.
“In 2010 there were more than 120 people killed by his own forces on valley streets, at the time of Shopian and when the case of Haji Yusuf’s killing was surfaced, Omar didn’t resign,” said Naeem.
The PDP spokesman added further, “Omar holds nothing to show as his achievements to the people and it is like sticking to a straw by a drowning man.”
Ahktar further said, “They know that there end is near and in this desperation, they are trying to shake the foundations of the state.”
Akhtar stated that NC and Congress are at present through the issue of new administrative units, trying to show to their respective constituencies that they are their saviors and champions.
However, Akhtar stated that PDP is with the creation of new administrative units in the state, keeping in view the topographic and climatic conditions. “We are against the political gains that Congress and NC is trying to get through the issue. They cannot buy polls by indulging into the thoughtless exercises.”
Demanding that the Mushtaq Ganaie report must be made public so that people could give their opinions about the issue, PDP accused that the report is being kept as secret deliberately.
