Srinagar, July 9: National Conference General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar questioned opposition parties on their sudden awakening to public issues after a prolonged silence during years of bureaucratic control in J&K.
MLA Hazratbal Salman Ali Sagar was also present in the meeting.
Sagar asked party functionaries to prepare for the upcoming July 11 and July 13 functions.
While speaking Sagar said, “Where were these self-proclaimed guardians of democracy when the region was run by unelected officials for nearly a decade?” Not a murmur was heard from them then. In fact, they seemed far more comfortable attending official parties than standing with the people on the ground.”
He said that the opposition’s current chorus of criticism against Omar Abdullah government rings hollow, especially as it targets a democratically elected government that is actively working to restore dignity, progress, and stability to our beleaguered region.
