“It is unfortunate that we have sacrificed our people to the bullets of anti national forces to strengthen democracy in this State but this so called nationalistic party is making all efforts to weaken such intuitions and it is nothing but a service to the antinational forces who have always been against democratic institutions in the State of Jammu and Kashmir”, said Mir adding that the Panchayat members of the State will start an agitation in the State if any Bill is passed to make present PRI Act more weak by incorporating amendments .
It is unfortunate that instead of pressing its partner PDP to extend 73rd Amendment of Indian Constitution to the State of Jammu and Kashmir, BJP is out to weaken even the existing Panchayati Raj Act of Jammu and Kashmir, he added.
Asking the BJP to desist from doing such acts for the sake of power, Mir said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have sacrificed lot for the sake of democracy and they will never let anyone to do this dirty politics for the sake of power.
He said that the BJP has got completely exposed and now its leaders have only one point agenda to mint money no matter if it is got by pushing the sovereignty and integrity of the country at stake.
