Srinagar/Oct,19: National Conference on Monday said that a fresh notice to it’s President Dr Farooq Abdullah is a “witch hun” alleging that BJP after failing to politically fight Farooq Abdullah has resorted to employing its agencies for the task.
In a statement a party spokesperson said, “The ED summon to Dr Farooq Abdullah is clearly the result of the unity that Abdullah has been able to forge among mainstream political parties in J&K. This is the price one faces when opposed to BJP’s ideology and divisive politics. Recent history is a witness to how BJP has been employing coercive and intimidative measures through various departments to target opposition leaders across the country. The recent ED summon to Dr Farooq Abdullah is a case in point.”
The statement further added, “The timing of the recent summon is very clear. His previous summons were just before Aug 5 last year and today’s summon comes within days of forming the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration of which Dr Farooq Abdullah has taken a lead.”
“Dr Farooq Abdullah continues to maintain his innocence and will cooperate with the authorities in what is nothing but a witch hunt,” the statement said.
