Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Kashmir, Opposition National Conference leader Omar Abdullah has launched a scathing attack on the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) accusing it of shifting the power capital of Jammu & Kashmir to Nagpur, the headquarters of RSS.
Former Chief Minister and NC’s Working President Omar Abdullah on Monday said that Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs) are signed by the RSS and PDP has effectively aided in shifting J&K’s power capital to Nagpur.
In a statement Abdullah quoted Mufti’s interview to a national English daily where he (Mufti) had stated: “The good thing is that on Kashmir, the PM doesn’t just rely on IB reports. He talks to the RSS, gets feedback from them. He sees that Mufti is serious, that my Government is working hard. That’s why he’s coming”.
“Earlier I had sounded an alarm that PDP had surrendered the political and institutional sanctity of the Chief Minister’s office to the RSS and that the State’s capital for all practical purposes had been shifted to Nagpur. At that time PDP leaders vehemently denied any dilution of authority and control and went on to resort to their usual melodramatic rhetoric to divert attention from their brazen sell-out. Today the PDP Patron and the Chief Minister has himself confessed that he trusts Prime Minister Narendra Modi because the Prime Minister gets his ‘feedback’ from the RSS. This is clearly an unambiguous coming-out-of-the-closet for the PDP and now the people of J&K have been formally informed of the longstanding nexus between the PDP and the RSS which we always called attention to”, Abullah said.
He said Modi visit would be for the personal political interests of the Mufti father-daughter duo, he sought to remind Mufti Sayeed that the PDP-BJP ‘Agenda of the Alliance’ has been torn to shreds by the BJP under the approving supervision of the Prime Minister.
“Today, the fact of the matter is that PDP continues to be in the apologetic servitude of the BJP and RSS purely and only to satiate Mufti Sahab’s and Mehbooba Mufti’s unending quest for power. One would have thought PDP would feel embarrassed by repeated U-turns and snubs by the BJP and would stop trying to create moral smokescreens to justify their sell-out. However, it turns out that PDP has abandoned the luxury of shame for the petty trappings of power and today the Chief Minister has finally become the proud flag-bearer of this shame on behalf of his party”, the NC Working President further added.
