Jammu, Apr 15: Former MP Tariq Hameed Karra today played down resignations of two BJP ministers in Jammu and Kashmir, saying it was aimed at saving Mehbooba Mufti-led government in the state.
“Both the PDP and BJP are trying to play smart by the way of fixing the match through rhetoric and pre-emptive measures like withdrawing the ministers from cabinet simply to save this government and remain glued to the power,” Karra, one of the founding members of the PDP, said in a statement here.
Karra resigned from the PDP in September 2016 over differences with the party leadership over its alliance with the BJP and later joined Congress in February last year.
He said the people of the state were going through “one of the worst political crisis in last 25 years”.
“The state government on the other hand is unmoved, unnerved and unperturbed,” he claimed.
Karra said the “blunder” the PDP did by facilitating RSS backed BJPs’ elevation to power was “beyond repair”.
“Previously socially untouchable communal fringe elements are now brazenly taking out rallies supporting raping, killing and, evacuation of Muslims,” he said.
