Addressing a presser here at party headquarters in Srinagar, JKPCC chief, Ghulam Ahmad Mir said that the threats by the militants are being issues since 1990.

“The threats by militants are no new, they have been issuing them since 90’s.  We are time and again urging the government to assure safety and security of people prior to going for any democratic processes. We are ready to take part in any democratic process but let the government come with the responsibility over the safety of people,” he said.

Earlier on Tuesday in an unverified audio,  Naikoo is heard sayign that  “we have brought hydrochloric and sulphuric acid for people who are planning to contest election.”

“Those intending to participate elections must bring shrouds with election forms,” Naiko threatened.

Meanwhile, Mir said that the congress party has already cleared its stand over the Article 35-A, saying that the petitions were filed in Supreme Court earlier in 60’s as well but the top court of India then also dismissed the plea. “We have full faith in judiciary and we hope any decision by SC will be favourable,” he said.

Mir who was accompanied by Punjab finance minister Manpreet Badal, JKPCC leaders including G N Monga, Haji Abdul Rashid, Secretary JKPCC Shakeel Ahmad Khan and others also said that the BJP is playing politics over the Article 35-A, saying that the party is using the law as vote bank for the upcoming parliamentary elections.

Meanwhile, Punjab FM while talking to reporters accused the Modi government of causing over Rs. 40,000 crore loss to the exchequer in the purchase of Rafale fighter jets from France.

He said that the Congress party while in power had made plans to buy the aircrafts

“The UPA negotiates the RAFALE down to 526 Cr. per plane. But PM Modi secretly paid 1,670 Cr. instead, thus simultaneously giving loss of over 40,000 Cr to exchequer,” he said, asking the BJP to come clear over the issue.

He said that in this regard, the party has decided to go for peaceful protests in every state from September 05-September 15 during which memorandum will be sent to the President of India, seeking details about the matter.
