| Senior PDP leader bats for secular front against BJP-RSS | | 'Muslims are not safe' | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 26: The unrelenting PDP founder member and former Finance Minister has once again trained his guns at the PDP-BJP coalition government and batted for a secular front against the BJP-RSS. Under the present regime, the people of the state, especially the Muslim majority, are feeling unsafe, he has said, adding that the "Muslims are not safe even in their houses". Who will believe what the leader said considering the fact that the Muslims have been ruling the roost since 1947 and that Kashmir is a one-community and one-religion region.
The PDP leader made these comments while reacting to the attack on independent MLA from Langate (Kashmir) in Kishtwar on Thursday. Some RSS-BJP activists allegedly attacked the Kashmiri MLA for hosting a beef party on October 7 at MLA hostel, Srinagar, to hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindu community.
The PDP leader said that the attack on the Kashmiri MLA was a clear indication that the Muslim majority community was unsafe even in the Muslim-majority state, and suggested that it was time for the PDP to break its ties with the BJP-RSS and join hands with secular parties so that the BJP was kept out of the government in the state.
The senior PDP leader didn't name the parties he wanted the PDP to join hands with. But it was clear from what he said that he actually urged the party high command to forge an alliance with the NC and the Congress. This was his stand from day one. That he was against the PDP's alliance with the BJP could be seen from the fact that he didn't attend even a single meeting of the PDP-BJP Coordination Committee meeting and that he repeatedly described PDP-BJP agenda of alliance a mere "piece of paper".
Besides, he has been consistently dismissing the Narendra Modi-led Union Government as anti-Kashmiri Muslim and intolerant and describing the Prime Minister's package of Rs 80,000 crore as an eyewash as well as an attempt to hoodwink the Kashmiri Muslims, including the flood affected people in the Valley.
The PDP leader, it appears, is creating a situation that forces the high command either to snap ties with the BJP-RSS or expelling him from the party. Indication from the PDP headquarters suggest that the PDP high command is unlikely to break its relations with the BJP and that the PDP founder member could be shown the door if he continued to oppose the PDP-BJP coalition. Sources also suggest that "the patience of the PDP high command is ending very fast." |
