Ahead of Assembly session, Congress in Jammu and Kashmir today said it will take on the ruling BJP-PDP coalition on their u-turns on the ideological issues including self-rule, Article-370 and one flag.
"For remaining in power, PDP and BJP have compromised with their basic ideological issues and deceived the people. Our Legislative party will seek replies from them and grill them on the issues," JK Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president Gulam Ahmed Mir told reporters here tonight.
"We will question the two coalition partners... Where is the self-rule slogan of PDP. Where is 'Eik Vidhan & Eik Nishan', scrapping of Article 370 in J&K as promised by the BJP to the people of Jammu," Mir said.
Taking a dig at BJP government at the Centre, he said "They have numbers and majority? Why the BJP does not dare to abrogate it(Article 370)"?
On revocation of AFSPA, he said, "Congress stand is clear. It is same when we were in power. AFSPA should not be allowed to made a political issue of any party."
"It is a matter which the security agencies have to deal with. NC demanded its --even Chief Minister Omar had made its clear he will do it... But Congress cleared its stand to him also that as a party we will not be party to it. It is purely a security matter," he said.
