The PDP president upped the ante and claimed that NC founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah had advocated Jammu and Kashmir’s accession to Pakistan, but sided with India after getting power.”Time will reveal who seeks to appease whom. However, it’s worth recalling that your esteemed grandfather Sheikh Sahab once advocated for accession to Pakistan for over two decades after losing power. But post being reinstated as Chief Minister he suddenly reversed his stance by aligning with India.””In contrast the PDP has consistently upheld its convictions and commitments and unlike your party whose loyalties have shifted dramatically according to political expediency, we don’t need to stoke tensions or adopt warmongering rhetoric to validate our dedication. Our actions speak for themselves,” she said in response to Abdullah’s post on the microblogging platform.The chief minister said he will rise above the “gutter”, where the PDP president wanted to take the conversation.”Is that really the best you can do? Taking cheap shots at a person you yourself have called Kashmir’s tallest leader. I’ll rise above the gutter you want to take this conversation to by keeping the late Mufti Sahib and ‘North Pole South Pole’ out of this,” he said, in a reference to the past alliance of the PDP and BJP.”You keep advocating the interests of anyone you want to and I’ll keep advocating for the interests of the people of J&K to use our own rivers for our own benefit. I’m not going to stop the water, just use more of it for ourselves. Now I think I’ll do some real work and you can keep posting,” the NC leader added.
