Every Kashmiri is anti-Indian, says former NC leader
A National Conference leader who recently quit the party and is contesting as an independent in the ongoing Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections Tuesday said every ‘Kashmiri wants to free themselves from the clutches of India’.
Ghulam Nabi Nilora a former National Conference leader who is contesting from Pulwom constituency said: “It is bitter but true that every Kashmiri wants freedom from India. You can’t label a voter as pro-India as every Kashmiri weather he votes or not, in my opinion is anti-Indian,” he said.
“I had no intention to contest elections but I was forced by the ‘corrupt’ leadership of National Conference to jump into the fray and my sloe motive is to watch NC getting wiped out from all across South Kashmir,” Nilora who lost his father and brother in militancy related incidents said.
He said NC chief Omar Abdullah is responsible for the disintegration of the party in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said NC at present is like to Democratic National Conference that was founded by Bakhshi Ghulam Muhammad. “There were three organs of National Conference, one was led by Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah, another was Bakshi Ghulam Muhammad and the last one was headed by Mirza Muhammad Afzal Beigh. We belonged to Sheikh family but Omar forced every worker to part ways with the NC. Omar was mislead by Devendra Rana and Nasir Aslam Wani and these two fellows shook the foundations of party in Jammu and Kashmir,” Nilora said.
Responding to a question Nirlora said that NC has been hijacked by Wani and Rana. He said that the party of Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah is in shambles while Omar ruined it and he fails to understand why he (Omar Abdullah) supports Rana and Wani.
He claimed that NC will not bag a single seat from South Kashmir. “National Conference leadership ditched its loyal workers. It is the organization that will get routed not only from South Kashmir but God willingly from all across Kashmir,” he said.
Nilora said that Sheikh Muhammd Abdullah who gave blood to make NC strong in Kashmir would have never imagined that an ‘incapable’ person like Omar is going to destroy his party. “Who is Omar Abdullha? There are thousands of people like him in Kashmir and they are more intelligent and reasonable than him. Only thing is that Omar became the Chief Minister because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth,” Nilora said, adding that Omar was the first leader in National Conference who felt ashamed of maintaining one to one relations with his workers.
“NC is the party of oppressors. It is the party which killed youth in cold blood in 2010. It is the party which paved way for the execution of Muhammad Afzal Guroo. It will be unfortunate if people of Kashmir will still believe in this party which is run by Omar and his chosen ones,” he said.
