| NC leaders put party spokesman in tight spot | | Disown statement issued on their behalf | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, June 28: Taking strong exception to the statement attributed to them, a major chunk of senior National Conference leaders Sundaydistanced themselves from the handout issued by the party spokesman, Junaid Azim Mattu against PC chairman and Minister Sajad Gani Lone.
The senior NC leaders including Mohammad Shafi Uri, Shareef-ud-Din Shariq, Mir Saif-ullah and Qaiser Jamsheed Lone told a Srinagar based news agency on Sunday that they had not issued any statement against Lone. They said the NC spokesman was compelled by two party leaders to issue the statement against Lone.
A joint statement issued by the NC media cell attributed to senior leaders Chaudhary Mohammad Ramzan, Mir Saifullah, Mohammad Shafi Uri, Mohammad Akbar Lone, Qiaser Jamshed Lone, Kafil-ur-Rehman and Nasir Khan, had lashed out at Lone for his defense of RSS ploys and secret plans in Kashmir and said it is in stark contrast to what Sajad Lone, his family and his party had been saying during the two decade long turmoil in Kashmir.
However, Shafi Uri, Shariq, Saifullah and Qaisar Jamsheed distanced themselves from the statement, saying they have no knowledge about when the statement was issued on their behalf.
"We were surprised after reading the statement attributed to them by the media cell of National Conference," the NC leaders said.
Mohammad Shafi Uri told the news agency that the NC spokesman was compelled by some leaders within the party to issue such a statement wherein Sajad Lone was castigated.
Uri said that already it has been decided during the party's core group meet that no leader except the president, general secretary and spokesman can issue the statements on behalf of the party and the recent statement contradicts the very own set of rules formulated within the National Conference.
Former parliament member from north Kashmir Shareef-ud-din Shariq also condemned the statement and distanced himself from the same.
MLC Qaiser Jamshed Lone and former law minister Mir Saif-ulllah too distanced themselves from the statement issued earlier on their behalf, saying they have no information when the statement of such a nature has been issued by the NC headquarters. |
