| Are NC, PDP allies of BJP? | | Azad's laughable comment | | Rustam
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 21: Are the ruling NC - the Congress' ally in the outgoing unpopular and discredited dispensation in J&K -- and the main opposition PDP the allies of the BJP? The answer is yes if one goes by the silly and laughable comment made by Sonia loyalist and Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad, the Congress' election campaign head in the state. It was the other day when he accused the Sangh Parivar of unleashing a "vicious" campaign in the state for political gains and said that the PDP and the NC were covertly or overtly flirting with the BJP. "Neither the PDP nor the NC has the guts to counter the divisive agenda of the BJP and the Sangh Parivar," Ghulam Nabi Azad had said, adding that the NC and the PDP were regional parties, which had support base only in the Valley and had no base beyond the Banihal Tunnel and that they were working in tandem with the BJP for political gains.
The Congress leader only became a laughing stock by claiming that the PDP and the NC were the allies of the BJP. Neither the NC nor the PDP endorse the ideology of the BJP. They hate what the BJP stands for. Both the parties have been taking on the BJP and terming them anti-Kashmir and anti-Kashmiri Muslims and urging the Kashmiri people to defeat the BJP saying the victory of the BJP even in a single assembly segment in Kashmir would damage their cause. The truth is that the NC and the PDP have been seeking mandate in Kashmir on such poll planks as Article 370, special status and resolution of the so-called Kashmir issue.
The fact of the matter is that the anti-Congress wave across the state has rattled Azad and others of his ilk in the Congress party and that's the reason they are making silly and ridiculous statements. It is none other than the Congress party that had helped the NC to rule the state between 1947 and 1965 and between 1975 and 1990. Not only this, it was an ally of the Congress between 1975 and 1977 and between 1987 and 1990. It and the NC together rigged the 1987 assembly elections, which culminated in the emergence of separatist movement in the Valley. Besides, it has been sharing power with the NC since January 5, 2009.
And what about its relations with the PDP? The Congress shared power with the PDP between November 2, 2002 and November 1, 2005. Not only this, Azad and JKPCC chief Saif-ud-Din Soz had on several occasions during the past three years publicly said that the Congress would forge alliance either with the NC or the PDP in case it did get absolute majority in the 2014 assembly elections. Azad had even visited the residence of Mufti Sayeed a few months ago to discuss the future relations of the Congress and the PDP. But the likes of unscrupulous, frustrated and desperate Azad would not recognize these stark. And it is understandable. After all, he knows that the Congress has little or no chance in these assembly elections. |
