Srinagar : Peoples Democratic Party (PD) senior leader, Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra on Thursday said there was no difference between the elected government and the Governor’s rule in Jammu and Kashmir as actions like like attachment of properties, termination of employees and raids continue in Jammu and Kashmir. He also slammed Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for not attending the last three days of the Assembly when the contentious Waqf Amendment Bill was to be discussed and raised.
Addressing a party convention with party President Mehbooba Mufti Parra said that Omar Abdullah is ashamed of calling himself a Muslim and preferred to visit Tulip Garden instead of participating in the Assembly to raise the voice against the contentious Waqf Act. “Let him not pass the resolution, but we are 60 Muslims in the assembly including three from PDP, who brought a resolution, but he should have been present there,” he said.
He also said that PDP is being targeted for forging an alliance with BJP, but the coalition was done with an aim to put an end to the atrocities, jails, attachment of properties and termination of employees. “We forged an alliance openly, but we didn’t make any deal on August 05. In 2002, we forged an alliance and opened a way for both sides of Kashmir. About Dullat’s claims, he said that the former RAW Chief was made to change his statement multiple times yesterday, but the book can’t undo what has been written in it. The statement of Dullat should be spread and the people should know how their blood was sold,” he said. He also said that there was no difference between the present government and Governor’s rule. “Both are same in terms of sufferings of people as the raids, attachment of property, termination of employees continued during this government as well. When the Chief Minister can’t speak over the grave issue, can we remain silent on the issues in fear of the CM losing his chair?” Parra said that the culture, language and religion is under attack and the Chief Minister should clear his position in this regard
