“National Conference, after the election results of 2014, offered unconditional support to the PDP to form the Government with an intention to keep BJP at bay as their divisive campaign rhetoric and inherent politics of polarization didn’t auger well for the State’s stability and welfare. Unfortunately, the PDP turned that offer down on expected lines and went ahead to formalize an erstwhile informal alliance with the BJP. The repercussions of that decision are here for all of us to see and the costs have been enormous. Today, J&K has been pushed into the throes of renewed militancy, turmoil and division. While the situation in Kashmir is volatile and unstable, Jammu is on the brink due to BJP’s politics of polarization,” Omar said.
