#HistoryRepeats; NC repeats PDP protest, stages Sit-In in front of Secretariat Gate

Unionist Opposition party, National Conference, on Thursday held a protest demonstration outside the civil secretariat in Srinagar

The NC protestors were raising anti-government slogans seeking immediate halt to civilian killings and arrests. This protest demonstration replicates what ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did in 2010 when 120 civilians were killed. NC working president Omar Abdullah was in office then.

Led by NC Secretary General, Ali Mohammad Sagar, the MLA Khanyar said that PDP-BJP government has failed at all levels.

“It is unfortunate that the government which started working by thanking Pakistan and militant is now abusing same Pakistan,” said Sagar, who led 1 45-minute sit-in protest outside the civil secretariat.

“The NC has been from day one seeking dialogue and reconciliation with Pakistan and all stake holders” Sagar said.

The NC members held a 45-minute sit-in protest in front og the main entrance of civil secretariat halting the in and out movement of ministers and officials on September 01, 2016.

Reports said that cavalcade of Education Minister, Naeem Akhtar, who happens to be Government spokesperson as well, was stuck outside the civil secretariat due to the blockade established by National Conference members.

When asked whether NC will meet the All-Party delegation scheduled to visit Kashmir in a few days, Sagar said, “if by meeting such a delegation, wounds of Kashmir will be healed, we will have no issue in meeting the people.”
