| Mufti 'rejects' BJP’s demand of declaring Oct 26 as holiday | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 21: Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed has rejected the demand of the BJP to declare October 26, the day Maharaja singed the Instrument of Accession with India as a State holiday.
According to sources, Mufti has told the BJP leadership that any attempt which can create regional or religious problem should be avoided. He also told the BJP leadership that a section in Kashmir Valley has strong reservations against the rule of Dogras and also more for signing the Accession.
"The CM told the BJP that any attempt which could pose problem in Kashmir should be avoided. He had also told them since Modi Government has started dialogue process with Pakistan, so creative and conducive environment should be made rather than creating more troubles, which could undermine the sincere efforts of the Modi Government on this front," said a senior Minister.
Sources said the CM while rejecting the demand had told the BJP that it should first try to win over the common people in Kashmir by its actions and deeds and then go for such move.
"BJP should learn from the PDP, which has established a base in the Jammu region by respecting its sensitivities and putting premimum on it. BJP should also follow the same only then it can be accepted by the Kashmir, where a platform has been given to them by such an alliance," said the Minister.
Sources said the CM had also communicated to the BJP high command about the concerns of the PDP if such a move is pressed. The high command reportedly told Mufti Sayeed to decide in his own wisdom.
The BJP leadership was quite sensitive and open to the view point of Mufti Sayeed, who had been given almost free hand in running the Government," said the Minister. |
