Jammu, Apr 12: As central agencies have reportedly collected some convincing evidence, Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti today aired apprehension that Centre would arrest her to finish PDP.
“For the last two years, the Union Government has been trying to finish PDP in one way or another. One the one hand, the Centre is luring PDP leaders while on the other Union Government is trying to demoralize me by calling me for questioning”, she said, adding, “after failing to get substantial evidence of corruption against me, the Centre has now called my mother. I fear they will also call my daughters and brother also in near future”.
Mehbooba said that the People's Alliance For Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) was formed to fight for the restoration of special status of Jammu and Kashmir not for petty electoral gains.
Mehbooba said that guns have never been a solution to any problem and asked the youth to follow democratic track to force the two countries to address the issue for which they are giving their lives.
“Some people want to see the youth of Kashmir with weapons so that they can project them as terrorists to the world”, she added.
On being asked about the future of PAGD as there has not been a single meeting from the last three months, she said, “every party has the right to hold programmes on a party basis. As far as PAGD is concerned, it exists for a much larger cause and purpose”.
Replying over extension of Delimitation commission process and delay in assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, she said, "Central government will always want to rule J&K directly,” she said, “If J&K will have its own elected government, they think there intervention will minimise in taking decisions here”, she added. |
