JK People’s Party Chief Sheeban Ashai questions Congress’s silence on Farooq Abdullah’s double speak.
Srinagar, 7th April 2025 (PTK): Lashing out at Farooq Abdullah and his party government’s double speak and decades long politics of deceit, JK People’s Party Chief Sheeban Ashai questioned silence of India Alliance members over such brazen double dealing. He said, ” It’s high time Congress clears it’s stance over NC-Farooq’s back door, now open negotiations with BJP. If Congress claims to be a secular party, how are their alliance members blowing to smithreens very concept of secularism? Hobnobbing openly with anti-Muslim modi regime? It’s an open secret Farooq Abdullah has been holding talks with BJP top brass compromising Article 370 over statehood for saving his party’s government. All they have ever cared about is business, money and chairs of power for family, relatives and party loyalists. Same is being unabashedly repeated in today’s age and time, gone are those days when one could do or say one thing in New Delhi and say another in Jammu or Kashmir. Congress being the principal opposition party in India needs to understand it’s responsibility otherwise they are just throwing minorities, most particularly Muslims to the wolves. Farooq Abdullah’s disreputable brand of politics is not only, not good for congress and India Alliance but it sends a wrong message to minorities across the country. Ashai also questioned Congress’s stand on 370 asked how was congress fine with idea of Farooq Abdullah and ilk dismantling the PAGD? People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration a forum created keeping aside decades of political differences formed by Kashmiris to espouce restoration of constitutional guarantees under Article 370. 370 was a part of basic structure of constitution, congress claims to be fighting BJP for safeguarding indian constitution. How was such a monumental blunder allowed to happen? We want to ask congress leadership why were they silent over such a Himalayan betrayal committed by Farooq Abdullah and his party? Ashai added that if India alliance and Congress doesn’t do course correction it should be taken as a clear message by minorities in India that they need to fend for themselves and no one would ever come to their rescue. Such despicable jekyll and hyde politics of Farooq Abdullah’s faction of National confrence which happens to be an alliance partner of congress and member of I.N.D.I.A political formation defeats basic tents of congress ideology. Congress also needs to understand that Kashmiri people are fed up with grand old party for whitewashing crimes of regional parties like PDP NC-F, others that have a history of allying with BJP and RSS in the past”.
