KISHTWAR: Attacking Omar Abdullah for accusing Congress Party of opportunism and falsehood, senior Congress leader and sitting MLA from Inderwal, Ghulam Muhammad Saroori on Monday termed him weak and unfit Chief Minister.
“Omar Abdullah can no more befool people with his politics of hatred and division as he stands exposed before the general masses”, Saroori said, while addressing a deputation of party workers of far off areas of district Kishtwar.
Saroori said, “Omar Abdullah’s National Conference is a sinking ship. He cannot deliver and general masses know how he has made a mess of Jammu and Kashmir. NC leaders, workers and supporters are seeking greener pastures elsewhere.”
He said that no inquiry was ordered by Omar Abdullah against his own ministers and accusation of him being involved in taking sizeable kickbacks of Rs 500 Cr from a private company on account of allotment of Rattle Power Project.
Saroori asked, “Why Omar only ordered inquiries against Congress Minister? Why no inquiries were ordered against allotment of 2,000 works allotted without tenders when Omar was holding the charge of Public Works Department (PWD), also in Haji Yusuf murder case and his associates.”
Saroori said, “One Mushtaq Ahmed, a paid agent of NC and resident of Srinagar filed a false complaint against former minister of sanctioning two thousand works in PWD R&B Department without formal tendering. But when SAC conducted the detailed enquiry and came to the conclusion that allegations were false and dismissed the case.”
He also mentioned that Omar Abdullah has filled his own chest when he didn’t have a single penny to quake hit erstwhile district Doda from Rs. 334 crore released by the Union Government under disaster management quota. “I think Omar Abdullah doesn’t know the meaning of disaster, Saroori added.
Saroori said that it was Congress party’s biggest mistake by giving an immature person the post of Chief Minister. “Congress thought Omar Abdullah was young and energetic and that he can deliver well. However, we were wrong. He was unfit for such a prestigious position,” Saroori said and asked what Omar Abdullah achieved in these six years?
He also said that to hide the failure of his government on every front, Omar was making false accusations against the Congress.
Saroori blamed Omar Abdullah for not regularising daily wagers in the State “It was intentional dilly-dallying tactics by Omar.
