"To say that government is running due to favour of the Congress is narrow thinking," Kamal told reporters today.
JKPCC general secretary Ravinder Sharma had yesterday said Kamal should not forget that because of Congress support the NC was in power in the state and its party chief Farooq Abdullah a minister in the UPA government at the Centre.
The remarks came after the NC leader's comments that successive governments at the Centre were responsible for alienation of people of Jammu and Kashmir from the Indian mainstream.
Sharma had termed Kamal's remarks as "highly objectionable and distortion of historical facts."
In response, Kamal today said, "It is wrong to say that we (NC) will leave support or that they (Congress) will leave support (to the coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir). This coalition has been formed upto 2014 as per the mandate of the people and government will run till then."
"In Centre, there are 22 parties coalition government, but government is run by Congress. Similarly, in J&K, there is two parties coalition and government is run by NC," Kamal, who is also uncle of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, told reporters here.
NC Additional General Secretary and MLA Kamal said neither NC nor Congress had full majority, but NC was invited to form government as it had won largest number of seats.
"Congress had cooperated with us...To say that it is because of us (Congress), that thinking is wrong," he said.
