JAMMU, DECEMBER 23: Stating that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government was running on the dictations of RSS, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President G A Mir Friday questioned the PDP government why it was opposing granting citizenship of India rights to West Pak Refugees when it was in opposition.
G. A. Mir said, “When Congress was taking up the issue that West Pakistan Refugees (WPRs) need identification as citizens of India, it was PDP who would always oppose the move. Our stand has been always clear that there was no problem in granting WPRs citizenship of India. Though from time-to-time questions have been raised by some parties over granting WPRs domicile of the State, the decision was pending.” Mir said.
The JKPCC President said that Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti was taking decision only to secure her chair as PDP has sold everything to RSS. “Whatever is dictated by RSS in the interest of Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), CM Mehbooba gives them smooth go through. What was the role of PDP when they were in opposition for six years. Now they have totally taken a U-turn,” he said._
“When the issue was discussed in the Assembly last time, PDP wasn’t onboard over the issue. They should have at least respected the views of the opposition parties before taking the decision,” the JKPCC President said.
He (Mir) said that the unholy PDP-BJP alliance has failed to satiate the aspirations of people of the state. “To divert attention from the real issues, this Government has been from the day one creating controversies. The slogans of ‘Change’ and ‘Ache-Din’ of PDP and BJP have proven a hoax as they have failed on all fronts. The inherent contradictions within the alliance has brought the state to chaos and confusion. The two parties have been attempting to polarise situation in the state to hide their failures on governance front,” G. A. Mir said.
