Srinagar, Aug 22: Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) today lashed out at the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for its “deceptive and deceitful role in backstabbing the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir in general and the Valley in particular.”
In a statement DPAP Central Kashmir President Peer Bilal alleged that the PDP backstabbed the people during its coalition with the BJP between 2015 and 2018, first under the chief ministership of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and then Mehboob Mufti. “But for the BJP’s huge snub and midway divorce by withdrawing the support to PDP led government in 2018, the former Chief Minister would have gone whole hog to kill young Kashmiri boys under the garb of the so-called drive against stone pelters and then mock at them by saying’ Kya Bache Toffee Lene Gaye Thay,” he said.
Bilal was reacting to a statement by PDP President Mehbooba Mufti yesterday in which she had described as regrettable the remarks of DPAP chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad on Indian Muslims.
