Srinagar: J&K Peoples Conference President Sajad Lone continues to take a dig at the National Conference, accusing its leaders of “fueling a polarizing and inflammatory narrative” through digital media, “benefitting” the BJP across the country while endangering the well-being of Muslim community members.
“It is astonishing to see that even after being involved in various corruption cases, Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah are not being brought to justice, while other leaders across the country have been put behind bars. This inaction and conferring of special treatment towards the father-son duo is evidence of an overt alliance and political favor from the BJP,” Lone said while addressing party workers in Boniyar, Uri in Baramulla district.
Lone who is contesting from Baramulla Lok Sabha seat emphasized that it’s incumbent upon the BJP and NC to clarify to the people of Jammu and Kashmir why no action has been taken despite “undeniable evidence of corruption”, all while affording special treatment to the father-son duo.
“If there truly isn’t any hidden understanding or alliance, then actions similar to those taken in other cases, which might be less severe than father-son corruption charges, should have been taken years ago. Yet, there appears to be a deliberate shielding of them. This is no secret,” he remarked.
Lone added that the NC is willfully trying to fan a communal divide as it is “hand in glove with the BJP,” citing Omar Abdullah’s statement on record about his willingness to work with Vajpayee again, implying no ideological contention with the party.
