Srinagar,(TDD) On the opening day of the assembly session, Awami Itehad Party (AIP) Senior Leader and MLA Langate, Sheikh Khursheed Ahmad, accused the National Conference (NC) of aligning with the BJP, claiming that this alliance became evident in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly today when both parties appeared united in stifling any discussion on Article 370.
MLA Langate Sheikh Khursheed highlighted that NC members seemed more concerned about shielding Omar Abdullah from interruptions than supporting the restoration of Article 370. “Instead of standing firm on Article 370, NC’s members were preoccupied with shielding their leader,” Sheikh Khursheed remarked, speaking to media persons outside the assembly.
He further criticized what he called NC’s “Shawl Diplomacy,” accusing the party of blocking any voice calling for the restoration of Article 370 and 35A. “NC’s actions make it clear they have no intention of fulfilling their promises, including the release of political prisoners besides 370 and 35A. Their strategy seems to be merely stalling for time,” he asserted.(TDD)
