Mufti’s accord with BJP led to abrogation of Article 370: Omar

Early Times Report

Jammu, Nov 30: After hitting out veteran Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad for backtracking on demand of revocation of Article 370, National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Tuesday blamed the People's Democratic Party (PDP) for the abrogation of Article 370 & 35-A which granted special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.
While addressing a public gathering at Chatroo in Inderwal area of Kishtwar District, Omar Abdullah said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took advantage of "our weakness". "Following the Assembly elections of 2014 in Jammu and Kashmir, I extended a hand of friendship to Mufti Mohammad Sayeed (PDP founder).
I warned him against stitching an alliance with the BJP and told him it would prove to be extremely dangerous for the people of Kashmir," said the former J&K Chief Minister at Chatroo Public rally which is a part of his public outreach program held by the party in Chenab valley l.
He went on to add, "I told Mufti sahab that neither I was interested in the CM seat nor any of my colleagues wanted a berth in his Cabinet. We did not even seek a Rajya Sabha seat or for MLC seat."
"We offered to back him in the Assembly without any conditions and requested him not to join hands with the powers which would be harmful for the people of J&K and state as whole," he recalled.
Omar Abdullah concluded his speech by saying, "We don't know till when we will have to suffer the consequences of the decision (abrogation of Article 370)."
Omar earlier without naming BJP alleged that some powers are trying to weaken the foundation of his party National Conference- but fail in its mission.
“Had NC manage to got the majority in 2014 elections- Article 370 and 35-A would still have been with us even today” Omar said. He also punctured the claims of development by ruling BJP and called upon the people to strengthen the National Conference- who is the only party in Jammu and Kashmir who is representing the aspirations of all the regions of the people of J&K.
Yesterday, slamming the Congress for its silence, Omar Abdullah said his party will single-handedly continue its fight for the restoration of Article 370, if the grand old party is not ready to fight this battle.
J&K's future is linked to the special status guaranteed by the Constitution, he said, adding that the case for restoration of Article 370 is very strong.
The former chief minister accused the BJP of "murdering democracy" in the Union Territory, after abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019, by rendering institutions, including newspapers, feeble and said it has rendered "hollow" India's slogan of being the biggest democracy in the world.
Among the prominent who joined Omar Abdullah at Chatroo Public rally include Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo, Rattan Lal Gupta, Tanveer Ahmed Kichloo, Jaffer Wani, Pyrae Lal Sharma and others.
