Srinagar, Jan 14 (KNS): Stating that the Governor rule was not in favour of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, Chairman Democratic Party Nationalist Ghulam Hassan Mir said that being a majority political party PDP should form the government as earlier as possible.
“Being the largest political party in the Legislative Assembly, PDP has the responsibility to form the government to give governance to the state. Governor rule in not in favour of the people here,” Mir told KNS.
He said that there is no doubt that Mufti Sahab’s death created a political vacuum which nobody can fill.
“But prudence demands that one has to come out of these tragedies to perform the duties which are cast on them,” Mir said.
He said that PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has sufficient experience both as legislator and MP for many terms and being “on the back seat to run the government with his father, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, from 2002-2005 and again in the last ten months.”
“She (Mehbooba Mufti) has no baggage, and she will start with a clean slate.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelTime will decide whether she can deliver or not as as a chief minister,” he said.
“I cannot give any suggestion to the PDP with which the party should form the government. But it should fill the governance vacuum. PDP has two options—either with secular forces or with the BJP.”
Mir said that he thinks the PDP will form the government with the same BJP and will stand with its earlier decision.
“By delaying (government formation) nothing will change for good or bad. PDP is wasting time of the people. So, I suggest earlier the (government formation) the better.”
The former minister said that Mufti Sahab had justified his alliance his alliance with BJP on the basis of the mandate the two parties had got in Kashmir and Jammu regions.
“I believe the argument is still valid, though PDP took votes from people on the slogan of keeping BJP away from Kashmir. But when it formed the government, it betrayed the people of Kashmir.” (KNS)
