PDP's statement following a party meeting that it wants assurance on its 'Agenda for Alliance' is yet another "contemptuous attempt to test the patience of the people and the continued and liberal indulgence of the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir", NC spokesman Junaid Mattu said.
"PDP's alliance with the BJP is Sayeed's final and definitive political legacy. PDP should either own it or disown it without any further delay. There is no third, middle-path," Mattu said here.
He said, "Any further delay in government formation while PDP and BJP continue to be in an alliance would not only be unconstitutional but would also discredit the neutrality and objectivity of political institutions in the state and for a state like Jammu and Kashmir, this comes with grave risks."

Mattu said if PDP wants "assurances" from BJP about the 'Agenda of the Alliance' now, "what was Sayeed doing for the last ten months while every single political and developmental promise in the common minimum programme was flouted and broken by both parties in carefully cinematographed fixed matches?"
The NC spokesperson said if PDP president Mehbooba Mufti and her party want to disown the final political legacy of their founder, they should do so and "allow the people of the state to exercise their democratic right to choose a new representative government that not only resumes the responsibilities of governance but also safeguards the sensitive strategic and political interests of the state".
