Srinagar: Reminding National Conference of its statement that participation in the delimitation commission would tantamount to accepting BJP-led central government’s August 5 decisions on Kashmir, Peoples Conference chief Sajad Gani Lone on Saturday asked the party to explain how it was an endorsement to abrogation of the Article 370 then and not now.
Earlier, the JKNC boycotted proceedings of the delimitation panel as t is the product of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act- 2019 which it had challenged in the Supreme Court.
Peoples Conference put out this statement when earlier NC said ‘participating in delimitation exercise 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. The era of Multiple speeches Srinagar and Delhi— in multiple places is over," Lone tweeted.
In another tweet, Sajad asked what compelled NC to participate in proceedings of delimitation commission now. "
"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," he asked.
There is a limit to a 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.
