Srinagar: State Congress president Professor Saif-u-Din Soz Thursday said that, it is a worrying situation in which certain power hungry political groups and individuals are trying to subvert the democratic verdict of the people in the just concluded election to the J&K Legislative Assembly.
He said that as is common knowledge and perception, a suave, experienced and forward-looking politician like Mufti Mohammad Sayeed should be allowed to lead a Coalition Government in the State with the support of other likeminded parties or groups. He added that way alone the peoples verdict would truly be respected.
In a statement, Prof Saif-u-Din Soz said that J&K State has experienced blackest periods of its recent history through armed militancy and very recent devastating floods that left thousands of people homeless and needy. It is a time when a Government should be at the helm to reconstruct the economy, rehabilitate a suffering mass of people and ensure governance that brings relief in the hearts and minds of the people.
Soz said that the RSS-BJP leadership would be well-advised to resist the temptation of cobbling a coalition that only deepens the polarization on religious and regional considerations, which is, to say the least, detrimental to the integrity of the State.
The RSS-BJP leadership should also appreciate the sensitivity of this border State and not indulge in any kind of horse-trading, giving priority to the parochial interests. That kind of short-sighted political arrangement would certainly attract a Social Commotion and spoil the gains from a credible, free and fair Election concluded recently, he said.
