Srinagar, Dec 25 (KNS): Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) has slammed the National Conference (NC) for excluding staunch advocates of Article 370 and 35A from the committee tasked with finalizing the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly.

MLA Langate and senior AIP leader Sheikh Khurshid accused NC of deliberately sidelining those committed to restoring Article 370 and 35A. "NC seems more aligned with the BJP’s agenda than standing with regional parties or addressing the genuine concerns of the people of J&K," he said.

Drawing a parallel to earlier incidents, Khurshid highlighted how AIP was similarly excluded during the so-called PAGD setup. "They know AIP demands constructive measures and accountability on critical issues. Instead of engaging us in dialogue, they deliberately keep us away because we challenge their hollow promises and political compromises," he remarked.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel

The MLA further alleged that the inclusion of a BJP MLAs in the committee was a calculated move to appease political opponents. “This selective representation exposes their hypocrisy and political expediency. NC’s actions are a betrayal of the aspirations of the people,” he added.

Sheikh Khurshid also invoked the plight of incarcerated AIP Supremo and MP Baramulla, Er Rashid, stating, “The sidelining of genuine representatives, including Er Rashid, underscores NC’s unwillingness to engage with leaders who genuinely represent the people's voice and demand accountability.” (KNS)
