Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday termed the launch of political outfit led by Syed Altaf Bukhari as “B-team of BJP”.
PDP State Secretary Abdul Hameed Kousheen told KNS that Bukhari led new political outfit is mere B-team of BJP.
He said on one hand three former chief ministers including Mehbooba Mufti, Dr Farooq and Omar Abdullah are under detention and are not allowed to come out to carry out their political activities but on the other hand situation is quite different.
“Mr Bukhari and few people are freely allowed to carry out political activities which clears depicts they are doing this under the patronage of BJP and as such the group have started working as B-team of BJP in Jammu and Kashmir”.
While hitting out to those who left party after August 5, Kousheen said that during detention after New Delhi scrapped Article 370, these leaders have shown loyalty to BJP.
Terming the disloyal leaders as “opportunist”, the PDP leader said recently party expelled its members who met Lieutenant Governor G C Murmu without having any official consent.
Now instead of serving people they are keenly interested to build their political career by jumping into the lap of B-team of BJP, he added.
“The Bukhari led Apni Party is incompetent in convincing New Delhi to restore any sort of concession to J&K. So pinning hope upon new formation is nothing but wastage of time”, he said.
