Srinagar, Mar 09: Congress’s Jammu and Kashmir Chief, Vikar Rasool Wani on Saturday distanced himself from National Conference (NC) Vice President Omar Abdullah’s statement in which he refused to accord Anantnag seat with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
While talking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President, said that India alliance is yet to take final call over seat sharing in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Whatever Omar has stated, it is his proposal or opinion, but not INDI Alliance’s decision,” he said.
Wani said that the leader Mukul Wasnik, who is helming the INDIA bloc is in constant touch with both Omar Abdullah and PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti and that it is expected that the final decision will come before very soon.
He added that Congress intends that all the alliance partners of J&K must fight together and defeat the BJP, which according to him is plunging the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir in deep crisis.
It is ironic that J&K in terms of unemployment is standing second after Haryana and that the jobless amongst the youth is touching new heights, he added.
“PDP should not fall prey to BJP manoeuvre and should not imitate Ghulam Nabi Azad or Altaf Bukhari, who are out to create a vote division and benefit the BJP,” he added—(KNO)
