Cong-NC alliance for sake of power: Dr Jitendra Singh

Jammu, Sep 07: Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh today said that the National Conference (NC)- Congress alliance is just for the sake of power and it has nothing to do with national interest.

He was addressing a press conference here. “The NC-Cong will bring back terrorism in J&K and stall development here,” Dr Singh said. He added that people of J&K will give befitting reply to the divisive agenda of NC-Cong.

“ Seventy percent of voters in Jammu and Kashmir are youth, and they are eager to respond strongly to the appeasement politics of the National Conference and Congress in the assembly election,”he said..

Dr Singh said that Omar Abdullah’s statement on Afzal Guru’s hanging is shocking and misleading.

“ Omar Abdullah claims that he was not consulted when Guru was executed. When Guru was hanged in 2013, the UPA government was in power at the center, and Omar Abdullah was the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir. If the center had made a decision about Guru, it was surely with the cabinet’s consent. Dr Farooq Abdullah raised no objections, nor did the then Chief Minister Omar Abdullah protested against the decision,”he said.
