JAMMU: President of Jammu Kashmir Bachao Tehreek and former Minister, Abdul Gani Vakil on Thursday described both PDP and NC leadership power hungry and said lust for power has brought PDP and NC on the same page, hence strike a common chord for pelf and power.
“They can go to any extent to grab power even if they had to face humiliation from the Centre. PDP got people’s mandate in 2014 against BJP but joined hands with BJP for power. Similarly NC has been always forging alliance with Congress even Congress not only deceived NC leadership on many occasions but humiliated their leader from late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah to Farooq Abdullah. Time has come to get rid of family rulers from the State as they can go to any extent to grab power by exploiting sentiments of common people,” Vakil said in a statement issued here on Thursday.
Vakil, while hitting out at Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti on her silence on Prime Minister Modi’s decision on permission to a Muslim woman for performing Hajj without a Muharam and legislation on triple Talaq.
Vakil said “it is shocking and equally painful to see Mehbooba Mufti herself a woman and Chief Minister of the only Muslim majority State of the country, not objecting to Prime Minister, Narendra Modi on allowing a woman to perform Hajj without a Muharam and pushing through a totally unacceptable legislation on triple Talaq.” Vakil alleged that Mehbooba Mufti’s Peoples Democratic Party is allying with BJP only for power as otherwise Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s repeated attempts of direct interference in the religious performances of Muslims are not tolerable and acceptable. He warned both PDP and National Conference to desist from the unending approach of toying politics of power and pelf.
