Former Minister and PC Chief Sajad Gani Lone has hit out at the National Conference for its recent decision to participate in the forthcoming meeting of the delimitation commission regarding Jammu and Kashmir.

He said that the National Conference should see its  own statement about the delimitation commission saying that participation in the delimitation commission would tantamount to accepting BJP-led central government’s August 5, 2019 decisions regarding Jammu and Kashmir.

He said that the National Conference should explain to the people of Jammu and Kashmir how it was an endorsement to abrogation of the Article 370 then and not now.

In a tweet, according to news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Peoples Conference put out a statement made earlier by the NC that participation in proceedings of delimitation commission would tantamount to accepting August 5 decisions and it is unwilling to do so.

“Please at least have the courtesy to show even some pretense and explain how it was tantamount to endorsement then and not now. Digital world. Digital proof. Chit bhi meri patt be meri won’t work. Era of Multiple speeches Srinagar and Delhi— in multiple places is over,” Lone tweeted. In another tweet, the party asked NC what compelled it to participate in proceedings of delimitation commission. “

These are the utterances of Dr. Farooq Abdullah. What changed between then and now for the NC to now participate. Is it not tantamount to endorsing August 5 decisions now?

There is a limit on monopoly on morality. Please at least have the courtesy to show even some pretense and explain how it   was tantamount to endorsement then and how it is not tantamount to endorsement now, ” the party tweeted. It is pertinent to mention that NC had earlier boycotted proceedings of the panel, saying it is the product of Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act- 2019 which it had challenged in the Supreme Court.
