NC accuses PDP, PC of diverting attention through baseless accusations

Srinagar : The National Conference (NC) on Sunday lashed out at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peoples Conference (PC), and Apni Party over allegations that it is normalising the BJP’s agenda, terming the claims a diversionary tactic aimed at misleading the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

In a post on X, as reported by news agency NC spokesman Imran Nabi Dar pointed out that the Omar Abdullah-led government had already passed a resolution in the Legislative Assembly seeking the restoration of J&K’s special constitutional rights, making the party’s position “absolutely clear.”

“Instead of joining the collective demand for the restoration of statehood, which continues to be denied by the BJP despite repeated promises, PDP, Apni Party, and PC are trying to divert attention through baseless accusations,” the NC said in a statement.

Dar reiterated that the NC has never abandoned its commitment to the restoration of constitutional rights.

“Demanding statehood does not mean giving up the fight for those rights. J&K deserves both, and we remain firmly committed to achieving both through democratic and constitutional means,” he said—(KNO)
