SRINAGAR: Indicators of pressure have emerged within the Congress-Nationwide Convention (NC) alliance in J&Okay after a Congress candidate slammed the ally and a video emerged of an NC MP purportedly disagreeing with the tie-up.
Vikar Rasool Wani, Congress’s nominee in Jammu’s Banihal seat, lashed out at NC Sunday, terming it “a celebration of killers”. “That is why the flag of NC is pink, like blood,” Wani, a former J&Okay Congress chief, stated at a rally.Present J&Okay Congress president Tariq Hameed Karra condemned Wani’s “derogatory remarks”. “Congress disassociates itself from such statements,” Karra stated in an announcement.
Total, NC will contest 51 of J&Okay’s 90 seats and Congress 32 within the meeting polls from Sept 18 to Oct 1. The 2 events have agreed to “pleasant contests” in some seats and put aside just a few others for smaller events. Banihal is among the “pleasant battle” seats. NC has fielded Sajjad Shaheen there.
Individually, within the video, an individual presupposed to be NC’s Anantnag-Rajouri MP Mian Altaf Ahmed is heard sharply criticising his get together’s alliance with Congress. The clip’s authenticity couldn’t be established. Altaf was not accessible for remark.
A lot of the highlight, although, stayed on Wani’s feedback as Congress scrambled to defuse a possible escalation with NC. Karra, the JKPCC chief, emphasised his “get together’s respect” for NC stalwarts “late Sheikh Mohd Abdullah and Farooq Abdullah”, calling the latter one in all J&Okay’s most senior and revered political figures.
Karra reiterated that Congress and NC had been contesting the upcoming elections collectively towards BJP, “united of their efforts to safeguard the dignity and rights of the individuals of J&Okay”. He known as for sustaining dignity and decorum in speeches. “Such statements (like Wani’s) are unacceptable and undermine the ideas of democracy and mutual respect in political discourse,” Karra stated.
Nonetheless, NC’s Banihal nominee Shaheen hit again at Wani’s tirade, declaring that his get together can be “robust” on the Congress candidate and accusing him of getting finished little in his earlier two phrases as native MLA.
