NC DESPERATE FOR POWER: NAEEM AKHTAR Ramban, June 1: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief spokesperson and member Legislative Council, Naeem Akhtar Sunday said that the belated `realization’ and `transformation’ of Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, was merely a desperate attempt to cling to power in Jammu and Kashmir. “It took almost six years and the humiliating defeat for him (Omar) to realize that he was arrogant and inaccessible to the people. He (Omar) was elected by the people to represent them and redress their grievances but instead Chief Minister behaved like CEO of a private enterprise,” Akhtar said. He was addressing PDP Youth convention here today and was accompanied by PDP Youth president, Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra, Arshid Malik, Abdul Ahad Wani, Swami Raj Bhagat, Imtiyaz Khanday, Showkat Daing and Shahnawaz Mir. “It is the interests and basic aim which separate the PDP from NC. While PDP has sacrificed power for the people, NC is known for bartering interests and aspirations of people to stick to power”, he said. Parra, in his address said that Omar Abdullah has not only failed his party and himself but an entire generation.
