Congress cautions Mufti Sayeed against allying with BJP: Srinagar, Dec 30: Congress Tuesday said the results of assembly elections have handed over a “trump card” to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and hoped that the veteran leader “will use the opportunity very properly and advantageously”. “I am of the view that the atmosphere in the State is moving towards Mufti Saheb’s favour and he will adopt a course which will hopefully be characterized as historic by way of the results on ground,” said Prof. Saifuddin Soz, President J&K PCC. He cautioned the former Home Minister on what he called “the dangers of a miniscule minority here (in Kashmir) who suggest development plank for seeking special favour from the ruling class in Delhi, if PDP decides to forge an alliance with the BJP. “Mufti Mohd. Sayeed should reject this short–sightedness and ask these elements to see the facts clearly and know for certain that India is a democracy and its Institutions have become strong over the decades,” said Soz in a statement. “There is no largesse available to the Prime Minister of India to offer to those states only which are for the BJP dispensation. Such elements in the system should also realize that India is a Federation of States with a unitary bias. How otherwise can the (Non-BJP) Governments in West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Assam, and Tripura etc. function,” he added. facebook/jknewsnow
