Srinagar, Mar 01 (KNO): National Conference (NC) on Saturday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of playing games “collectively”and trying to sabotage the issues which touch the skin of a common man.

NC Chief Spokesperson, Tanvir Sadiq while talking to reporters here as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said, the party has kept plan B and plan C in place in case the statehood is not restored.

“Both PDP and BJP were in the government previously, but they failed to take any step with regard to banning alcohol. They are collectively playing games and hampering the public works,”

Replying to a query about Mehbooba seeking support on bills including alcohol ban, he asked why she didn’t take all these steps when she was in the power, adding that the present situation is the outcome of her rule and had she followed the rules properly, Article 370 wouldn’t have gone.

“We will ask them why they didn’t take all these measures in the last ten years when they were busy in giving shawls and ensuring the implementation of acts like GST and others,” he said.

About the government’s plans to press for the restoration of statehood, he said they are hopeful that it will be restored as the Prime Minister and Home Minister have given assurances in this regard while the Supreme Court too has passed the directions about its restoration. “Why should we beleive that it will not be restored. However, Omar Sahab has stated that we have plan B and C in place too in case the statehood is not restored,” he added.

Moreover, he said that NC has full majority and whatever it has mentioned in the manifesto will be fulfilled, adding that they don’t need the sermons from anyone—(KNO)
