SRINAGAR, May 6: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday hit out at the ruling National Conference for \u201cdragging\u201d religious scripture into politics to divert attention from its \u201cfailures\u201d.
\n\u201cFor God\u2019s sake, do not drag Quran into politics. They (NC) are doing this to hide their failures over the past two years of being in government. People are disheartened with them,\u201d she told reporters here.
\nThe former chief minister was responding to a question about MLA Zadibal and NC chief spokesman Tanvir Sadiq demanding that the PDP chief and her MLAs swear by the Quran that they did not vote for the BJP in the Rajya Sabha polls in Jammu and Kashmir last year.
\nAn RTI reply has revealed that the PDP has not appointed a chief agent for the RS polls held in October last year, prompting allegations from the NC that the opposition party\u2019s three MLAs had voted for the BJP in the elections.
\nMehbooba accused the National Conference of seeking to divert attention from its failures.
\n\u201cHouses are being demolished under the garb of fighting drugs. Earlier the same thing was done under the pretext of fighting terrorism. Employees are being summarily dismissed while open merit students are going through tormenting times. All this government has done so far is being a mute spectator,\u201d she said. The former chief minister said the NC is welcome to fight her party politically but the ruling party should spare religious scriptures while doing so.<\/p>\n
