PDP blames NC
Srinagar, June 26: The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday blamed ruling National Conference (NC) for attacking the senior separatist leaders Shabir Ahmed Shah and Nayeem Khan at Khanyar in old city on Monday.
“It seems some political elements who have historically used muscle power and browbeating as their preferred political tool are trying to fish in trouble waters. It is easy to identify such elements and by now the government should have proceeded against them. But, it is unlikely to happen as they have been indulging in such acts as a part of their political tactics and are enjoying political patronage and protection from the NC leadership,” a PDP spokesman said in a statement.
He said there was no occasion to show such disrespect to the senior leaders or display hooliganism on a somber occasion like this. He said the anguish and pain caused by the destruction of an iconic spiritual centre is nobody’s monopoly and all Kashmiri’s particularly and the followers of Hazrat Dastgeer Sahib (RA) all over the world share this pain.
