"BJP & PDP is using divisive cards during elections. Congress is the only political force in the state which has always promoted harmony between people of different regions and religions... Of different faiths and identities in order to strengthen the bonds of unity and integrity of the state and the nation," Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee President G A Mir said.
Addressing a day-long convention of party workers of Jammu-East Assembly constituency near Parade here today, Mir said that the politics of hatred and divisiveness is most dangerous in this sensitive state than any other part of the country.
Terming the alliance between the PDP and BJP as "unholy", Mir said, "the u-turn of the two parties for government formation is most opportunist as they secured their respective mandates by politics of deception and exploitation".
"Although there appeared a pre-poll understanding between them, they fully used the emotional issues of respective regions, by promising to checkmate each other from power," the Congress leader said.

"However, after securing votes, they availed a breathing time of about two months just to throw dust in the eyes of the people...That kind of politics is a deception with respective electorate," he said.
He urged the people of Jammu and Congress workers to expose the "power hungry politics and hatred spread by the communal and divisive forces" and teach them a lesson in the next local bodies elections.
