Srinagar- Former MLA Ganderbal Ishfaq Jabbar on Sunday said that he wouldn’t join any political party, but would continue to work as an independent political leader for the welfare of the people.
Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of a rally organised by him to observe the 34th death anniversary of his father Sheikh Jabbar, Ishfaq, who was suspended from membership in the National Conference, said that he wouldn’t join any political party.
“I don’t have plans to join any political party, however, I along with other like-minded people would continue to work independently for the welfare of my people,” he said.
Taking a dig at his former boss, Ishfaq said “Omar Abdullah is the best separatist when out of power and a tyrannical mainstreamer when in power”.
He said Omar Abdullah also seems to have forgotten that he was the first person from Kashmir to be part of the BJP government at the Centre in 1999.
Jabbar said Omar Abdullah’s father unleashed the brutal Ikhwan regime on the hapless Kashmiris between 1996 and 2002.
He said that New Delhi was willing to give autonomy to Kashmir in 1995-96, but Farooq Abdullah preferred power over it. (KNO)
