Sunil Sharma Slams NC and PDP Over Alleged Double Standards With BJP
Sunil Sharma claims regional parties publicly criticize BJP while maintaining friendly ties with its leaders in New Delhi.
Srinagar, Oct 24: Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma on Friday launched a scathing attack on the National Conference (NC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), accusing both regional parties of misleading the public with contradictory stances toward the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Addressing reporters, Sharma alleged that while NC and PDP publicly criticize and distance themselves from the BJP, senior leaders of both parties frequently meet with top BJP figures in New Delhi.
“Leaders from both families NC and PDP have met Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, and even Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Yet, they label common Kashmiris who associate with BJP as impure,” Sharma said.
He described the conduct as political hypocrisy aimed at confusing the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“It’s acceptable when they dine with BJP leaders in Delhi, but when an ordinary Kashmiri does the same, they call it betrayal,” Sharma added.
The LoP urged political parties to practice honesty in public statements and stop spreading divisions among the populace. He further accused NC and PDP of working together behind the scenes to hide their actions from public scrutiny.
“They fear transparency because the truth exposes their politics,” Sharma said, adding that remarks by PDP president Mehbooba Mufti were intended to mislead voters for electoral gain.
