PDP has swindlers of all colours and shapes: Omar ‘PDP General Secretary’s CBI conviction aptly showcases PDP’s character’ ‘From rice, land, urea, apples, forests – they have stolen everything’ - Omar Srinagar, Nov 8 :National Conference Working President Omar Abdullah Saturday alleged that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had evolved as an amalgam of swindlers of all colours and shapes and that the PDP General Secretary’s conviction by a CBI court in a case of graft on Friday showcases PDP’s true character and goal in politics. While addressing party workers and office bearers from Sonawar Constituency here today, Omar said, “PDP leaders had been found involved in robbing everything from rice to land to apples to forests and now to fertilizers.” “There is nothing that PDP leaders have left untouched when it comes to their insatiable hunger for money. With their General Secretary’s conviction by CBI, It seems that air is now the only commodity that PDP has not robbed and misappropriated. However, knowing PDP’s penchant for corruption and embezzlement, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mufti Sayeed and his ‘consultants on corruption’ soon find a way to embezzle atmospheric air as well. Their leaders have not only stolen rice meant for the poor and needy but also stolen the rice-bags meant to distribute that rice. Such is the outstanding caliber of PDP’s choicest new faces in politics. Lo and behold, today they have also officially been honored with a gold medal of corruption in stealing fertilizers and that is a new addition to the list of rice, windfall apples, forests and custodian land”, Omar said while addressing party workers and youth activists from Sonawar here. Omar said that unlike PDP, National Conference holds its leaders and Minister to the highest standards of honesty and accountability. “We took concrete measures to ensure accountability and transparency in the system and took J&K out of the morass of corruption that PDP’s Ministers had plunged the State into. Today we stand here after the successful conclusion of a historic six year term of good governance, systemic reforms and unprecedented development without any fingers having been raised at our honesty and sincerity. We developed 1300 Megawatts of Power in the State in projects worth thousands of crores without any shades or suspicions of wrongdoing or corruption. We laid the edifice of 9000 more megawatts of power without so much so a shadow of corruption. And as compared to this – PDP has not even left urea and rice when it comes to their record-breaking performance in embezzlement”, the NC Working President said. Omar alleged that Mufti Sayeed was a master at doing the exact opposite of what he preaches. He said that a classic example of this was Mufti Sayeed’s much parroted ‘Healing Touch’ policy which turned out to be a ‘Killing Touch’ policy “when Mufti singled out and killed all those militant commanders who had declared a unilateral ceasefire and come to the talks table in Dr. Farooq Abdullah’s Government.” “It is none other than Mufti Mohammad Sayeed who is the biggest oppressor and tormentor of the youth of Kashmir in our entire history. It was none other than Mufti Sayeed who brought AFSPA and Governor Jagmohan to J&K and it was PDP that sabotaged all efforts on AFSPA revocation. He was the one who – as the Home Minister of India in the V. P. Singh Government – supervised the annihilation of thousands of our youth in massacres that have become synonymous with Mufti’s name. When today Mufti Sayeed has unabashedly welcomed a recently retired Police Officer who was at the forefront of the police response in 2010 unrest into PDP, he has yet again exposed his bent of mind and ideology before the people and the people, especially the youth of this State will pay Mufti back with equal vengeance in the coming elections. Mufti Sayeed should answer clearly – how can he ever even express remorse over the loss of lives in 2010 when he has welcomed a certain SSP into his ranks”, the NC Working President said. Omar while addressing the workers in Sonawar, Omar claimedthat National Conference was a party that believes in incentivizing honesty, morality and sincerity in politics and PDP in stark contrast was a party that “incentivizes immorality, corruption and manipulation in politics.” “The youth of J&K will answer in unambiguous terms in the coming elections that their decision is yet again against PDP’s corruption and manipulation and is a vindication of good- governance and transparency delivered by National Conference,” Omar said. The NC Working President also ridiculed PDP’s factually incorrect remarks that he had chosen safe seats to contest from and said if that was the case, he would have chosen those seats where he had sitting MLAs who had won by the highest margins. “Beerwah has a sitting MLA from PDP and we conceded a lead from Sonawar in the Parliamentary elections. Based on these facts, my contest from Beerwah and Sonawar is a clear and direct challenge to PDP and its corrupt leadership and I am not one to look for safe seats. Who would know better about safe-seats than Mufti Mohammad Sayeed himself who had to find safe-seats in R. S. Pura and Uttar Pradesh when he couldnt find more than a few hundred votes in Bijbehara?”, the NC Working President said while asking the workers especially the youth activists to go door-to-door in Sonawar and tell the people that we are seeking their support not only for victory in Sonawar but are also asking them to join us in playing a frontal role in defeating PDP’s dream of corruption and political impropriety.
