Peoples Democratic Party General Secretary Rafi Ahmad Mir has accused former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of insulting people of Jammu and Kashmir by thinking that a financial package was in offing to buy them.
“This is the most insulting thing a former Chief Minister can say about his people,” he said in a statement to KNS. “By thinking that a financial package can purchase the people of Jammu and Kashmir has exposed National Conference's ideology and Omar’s contemptuous remarks point to lack of integrity among the people of Jammu and Kashmir.”
He said that a mega developmental package was sought by Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed to mitigate the sufferings of flood ridden J&K as the people of Jammu and Kashmir have been the worst sufferers of this catastrophe and have showed exemplary courage to move on with dignity and courage.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
“Our people are not saleable, they are people of integrity and such statements demean their struggle for peace and a conducive atmosphere,” he said.
Lambasting at the National Conference for “false claims” of introspection and change, he said, “Nothing will mop out the wounds and sufferings that National Conference has inflicted upon the people with its inefficiency, mis-governance and anti-people approach.”
“The National Conference did everything from suppression to transforming Jammu and Kashmir into police state only to stick to power. The basic problem with the National Conference and its leadership was that there was never a culture of respecting the people and their aspirations,” the PDP leader added.
