Srinagar/Jammu: The People’s Democratic Party returned to the National Conference (NC) on Thursday, convicting the cancellation of Article 370, who was accused of striking secret deals with the BJP, while the PDP alliance with the PDP alliance with the saffron party.
As former raw chief, Dulat claimed in his book “The Chief Minister and the Spy” that Nekan President Farooq Abdullah supported the cancellation of Article 370 in 2019, although he publicly condemned it as a betrayal.
Jammu -Kashmir CM Umar Abdullah questioned the support of the upcoming book of PDP chief Mehboba Mufti’s upcoming book, asking if she also admits what the Symposter wrote in the first work about her father Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
In his 2015 book “Kashmir: The Vajpeya Year”, Dulat wrote that Saeed loved his whiskey and was once named “Mufti Whiskey”. The raw east-chief described Saeed as a regular bridge player at the Delhi Golf Club and remembered how he would always emphasize “a small” even after a drink.
“If Mehboba Mufti believes that everything is true while writing Dulat, should we also consider what he has written about his father in his first book?” Omar said in Jammu. He accused Dulat of distorting facts to promote the sale of the book. “When we have such friends, we do not need any enemy,” he said.
Nekan reiterated its stand that the PDP-BJP alliance formed the basis for constitutional change in Jammu and Kashmir. The coalition government was formed on 1 March 2015, and the BJP ended the alliance on June 19, 2018.
NC spokesman Tanveer Sadiq said, “Whatever has happened in Jammu and Kashmir since 2019 is due to the PDP-BJP alliance.”
Mehboba said that his party’s alliance with the BJP was transparent and its purpose was to protect Article 370. “Unlike the history of NC’s betrayal and secret deals with Delhi since 1947, our alliance was open and based on a promise that the article 370 would be protected,” he said.
Dulat’s revelations Abdullah, his son Omar, and Nekan MP Hasanan Masudi reduce doubts in the political circles of Jammu and Kashmir, who meet PM Narendra Modi in New Delhi before being canceled.
Mehboba said that Omar had approached Union Home Minister Amit Shah after the 2014 assembly elections to propose the NC-BJP alliance. “Many BJP politicians told us that the neck was ready for an ally without any agenda, while we were talking on a formal agenda,” he said. “But my father Mufti Mohammad Saeed insisted on a written agenda, which preserves Article 370.”
Alliance’s PDP-BJP agenda included a six-year freeze on Article 370 and Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s commitment to “Inshaniyat, Kashmiriyat, Jamhuriat” doctorate.
PDP’s Wahid Para supported the party’s head saying: “We had an alliance to bring India and Pakistan closer to save lives in Jammu and Kashmir, while Nekan made deals with the BJP.”
