Senior PDP leader and Member Parliament, Tariq Hameed Karra Wednesday accused the Congress of being equally responsible for the misdeeds of the present coalition regime.“Congress is equal partner with NC in promoting misgovernance, anarchy, corruption and repression during the past six years of the disastrous rule,” Karra said while addressing election rallies here to enlist support for the PDP candidate Farooq Indrabi.
He said the people have decided to teach both these parties a befitting lesson in upcoming elections as both NC and Congress are responsible for pushing the State into such a mess which would take any capable administrator years to set right.
Urging the youth to lead the movement for change, Karra said the people have suffered immensely under the present anarchist dispensation that has become a symbol of political chaos and denial of justice. “I foresee the State’s people in general and the youth in particular leading the movement for change in Jammu & Kashmir during 2014 political battles to take the functionaries of the present dispensation to task not only for their actions but inactions as well,” he said and added that the present government has wasted precious six years of Jammu and Kashmir because of NC and Congress.
Karra said the latest diatribe of the NC leaders has not only brought into open the inherent political bankruptcy of the party but it also depicts the desperation and frustration that has overtaken its rank and file including the Omar Abdullah. “Bereft of any political or economic agenda for the State, NC leadership has turned a politically bankrupt and discredited lot, which clearly reflects in their malevolent utterances and hysterical disparage,” he said and added that the people have already written-off NC as one of the misfortunes that was foisted on the State only to push it into the most tragic era of death and destruction.He said the worst-ever electoral rigging engineered by the NC in 1987 elections is still haunting its leaders. “NC leaders know the massive rigging of 1987 elections by them led to a trail of death and destruction in the State and the people will never forgive them for every drop of blood that was shed in the State because of the political highhandedness of the party,” he said and added that NC is the only party in the State that has thrived on political uncertainties and economic deprivation of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Karra said the poll boycott being enforced by various quarters has only led to the systemic disempowerment of the people and this time around the boycott could bring a permanent political disaster to the State by facilitating BJP to manage seats in Kashmir in the garb of poll boycott.He urged people to vote decisively in favour of PDP to prevent BJP and its pocket-sized from causing any harm to the special status of the State.PDP candidate for Dooru Assembly segment, Farooq Indrabi also addressed the rallies.
