The National Conference (NC) legislators have hit out at People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader Iltija Mufti for accusing them and their workers of resorting to hooliganism in south Kashmir parts after assembly election result.
In a video message, NC MLA from D H Pora Sakina Itoo while rebutting the allegations said that information shared by Iltija Mufti was completely wrong.“You are not politically mature as you appear to be in the media,” Itoo asked Iltija Mufti and “advised” her to check the facts again.
“Before the election, I asked all my workers, voters to celebrate within limits. All my statements are still available. I belong to a political family,” she said.The PDP leader and the media adviser to chief Mehbooba Mufti, Iltija Mufti on Thursday accused the J&K National Conference (NC) hooliganism in the south Kashmir parts saying that the NC workers have wreaked havoc in south Kashmir.
Sakina Itoo said that she represents everyone in Noorabad, DH Pora without considering which party the people voted for.“Even if they vote against us I am their representative, I want to tell Iltija Mufti that a surrendered militant who is now a PDP worker was being given a free hand by the party to create havoc in the constituency,” she said.
Sakina Itoo said whenever he (surrendered militant) visits Dhamal, Hanjipora he uses unparliamentarily language.“Many times people raised objections and said we will not let him use this language wrongly here, but I never allowed them to take any wrong step,” Itoo said.She further alleged that some PDP workers are always seen throwing stones at NC workers, abusing them and threatening people in her constituency.
“Yesterday I saw it myself, some PDP workers abused women, and NC workers. But I say it with confidence that none of the NC workers in my constituency has lit a single cracker. You have leveled allegations that NC workers throw firecrackers at PDP workers, you need to prove it with evidence,” Itoo asked Iltija Mufti.
Sakina Itoo further advised Iltija Mufti to come with facts whenever she addresses the media.“I want to clarify it again that I am not the representative of only those who voted for me but I also represent the people who did not vote for me,” she said.
She asked Iltija to teach politics to his worker (surrendered militant) before any action was initiated against him.“I wanted to take action against him, but the police department assured me that the matter will be resolved,” Itoo said.
NC MLA from Bijbehara-Srigufwara Bashir Ahmad Veeri also reacted to the allegations of Iltija Mufti saying that using unparliamentary language by the latter was an insult to the people of the area.
“I would advise this girl to stop doing such things. The way you are using this un-parliamentary language is an insult to our people,” Veeri said.Veeri said that Iltija Mufti was insulting the people who overwhelmingly gave the NC candidate the mandate from the constituency.
