PDP-BJP govt a bundle of lies, taking J&K to instability: Omar

Former J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today described the 'Agenda of Alliance' of ruling PDP-BJP coalition in Jammu and Kashmir as a "bundle of lies", accusing the government of taking the state towards "instability and chaos".
"National Conference (NC) worked hard to keep BJP away from power in Jammu and Kashmir and even extended unconditional support to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). But (Chief Minister) Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was not ready to make his masters angry and entered into a coalition with BJP," he said addressing a party convention in Kupwara district.
The NC working president said all the promises made by the PDP proved hallow within four months of its government and with each passing day it becomes clear that there is nothing like a Common Minimum Programme between the two parties.

"The PDP-BJP agenda of the alliance has turned out to be an unimaginative bundle of lies. Today we have been vindicated as each promise made in the 'Agenda of the Alliance' has come crumbling down as Sayeed looks on as a silent, helpless spectator who has sold his voice to remain in the Chief Minister's chair," he said.
Omar also attacked Sayeed for his "deafening silence" on Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar's "terrorists killing terrorists" comment and asked him to explain why a spate of targeted killings had started in Sopore after the minister's remarks.
"We are very concerned about the spate of targeted killings in Sopore and there is a widespread perception in the state that this PDP-BJP government is actually implementing the Union Defense Minister's remarks in letter and spirit.

"There are apprehensions that Ikhwanis (pro-government gunmen) are being re-invented. Mufti's deliberate silence and his refusal to condemn the minister's statement is conspicuous and worrisome," he said.
