NEWS LOCAL NEWS Attempts to Break PDP Will Lead to More Salahudins OBSERVER NEWS SERVICE• JUL 13, 2018 • 529 J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti - File PIc J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti - File PIc SRINAGAR: Lashing out at her former partner the BJP, former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti Friday warned that any attempt by New Delhi to beak her People's Democratic Party (PDP) will lead to serious consequences and give new impetus to militancy. Accusing Bharatya Janata Party (BJP) of trying to break her party MLAs to form a new government in Jammu and Kashmir that was put under the Governor’s rule last month, Mehbooba said that any such move will push the state to 90s era when militancy was at its peak in the state, adding that more Salahuddins and Yasin Maliks will be born. Mehbooba was speaking to reporters at Martyrs Cemetery here on the Martyrs Day,commemorated annually to remember those Kashmiris who sacrificed their lives to rid Kashmir of autocratic Dogra rule. Mufti who headed the BJP-PDP coalition government for nearly or two years said that the consequences will be dangerous if attempts are made to break the PDP which has maximum MLAs in the current assembly. (''Agar Dilli ne 1987 ki tarah yahan ki awam ke vote pe daaka dala, agar iss kism ki tod fod ki koshish ki, jis tarah ek Salahuddin ek Yasin Malik ne janm liya...agar Dilliwalon ne PDP ko todne ki koshish ki uski nataish bahut zyada khatarnaak hogi,'' she said.) “If Delhi tries to dismiss the voting rights of people like 1987, if it tries to create divisions and interfere like that then I think just like a Salahuddin and a Yasin Malik were born in 1987…if it tries to break PDP like that then outcomes will be dangerous,” the former J&K CM said. The CM’s remark comes in the backdrop of growing speculations that the BJP which has 25 MLAs, was poaching the PDP rebels and resorting to ‘unlawful means’ to break the lawmakers to gain the numbers. The J&K Assembly has 87 chairs with PDP being the largest one having 28 legislators. The two party had ruled the state for more than three years but their alliance ended only last month when the BJP quit the Mufti government citing her failure in checking militancy and rise in radicalisation. Mufti had earlier warned the BJP soon after it ended its ties with PDP and said that any attempt to engineer defections in her party “will erode the trust of the Kashmiris in Indian democracy”. “If Delhi intervenes and breaks our party, and makes Sajad Lone or whosoever as the Chief Minister, it will erode the trust of the Kashmiris in Indian democracy. Any intervention from Delhi will be taken seriously,” the PDP chief had said.
