PDP ‘sheep in wolf’s clothing’ created to ‘sabotage’ Kashmir struggle: Hurriyat (G)

Hurriyat (G) on Monday criticised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti over her statement that people in India enjoy freedom of expression in the backdrop of JNU controversy.

Terming PDP as the creation of secret agencies to what he said “sabotaging” the “just and genuine struggle of Kashmiri people”, a spokesman said that the statement of Mehbooba was against the ground realities.

“This party had definitely chosen the green color and pen-inkpot but this too was selected under a well thought out plan and its only purpose was to introduce a ‘wolf in sheep’s fur (clothing)’,” he said.

“At a time when the whole world is showing its concerns over the growing intolerance in India and when the people peacefully expressing their views are booked under sedition charges here, the PDP chief by siding with its alliance partner have made her position awkward and mockery.”

By issuing such a statement, spokesman said, the PDP patron was trying to justify the alliance of her party with the “communal and fascist forces” and that she was preparing ground for “grabbing the throne”.

“Mehbooba Sahiba can admire India and can heap up praise for this country in front of the whole world but the Kashmiri nation knows everything, they share extremely bitter experience with regarding to India and they are the first victims of the imperialistic and fascist mentality of this country,” he said.
