Beg contradicts Sheikh Nazir
Srinagar, Dec 8: Contradicting NC General Secretary Sheikh Nazir’s statement, party’s member parliament from south Kashmir Dr Mehboob Beg said; “1975 Accord happened between Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah and Indira Gandhi.”
Talking to Srinagar based news-gathering agency CNS, Beg said;
“It will be wrong to say that accord happened between Mirza Afzal Beigh and G Parthasarthy.”
Beg is son of late Mirza Muhammad Afzal Beg. Though he once was part of the NC group that toppled Dr Farooq Abdullah by supporting G M Shah, he later returned back to NC fold.
Beg added that his father was representative of Sheikh Abdullah when the 1975 Accord took place, “Mirza Afzal could not go to meet Parthasarthy himself, Sheikh and Indira were the part of it,” he said.
“I don’t know in what context Sheikh Nazir said so, but the fact remains that Mirza Afzal Beg was merely a representative of Sheikh when the Accord was signed,” he said. CNS
