Srinagar, Mar 03 (KNO): Peoples Conference president Sajad Gani Lone on Monday lashed out at the National Conference over Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s speech, saying it is indistinguishable from a possible speech.
In a post on X, Lone, as per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said that the LG’s address is indistinguishable from a possible BJP speech, had they been in power.
“There seems to be total ideological overlap,” he said, adding that the speech doesn’t even remotely talk about Article 370, Article 35 A.
“No mention of 5 August 2019. No mention of reorganisation Act,” he said.
The LG’s speech is drafted by the elected government to outline its policy and achievements
Lone the NC government has finally done away with ornamentalism.
“They don’t even want to pretend that have anything to do with Article 370. I remember how during election campaign it was all about Article 370, and how all others are BJP. And now the ideological overlap,” he said.
He said the LG’s address was a visionless statement of the government.
“And if this address was a vision statement of the government, it is as visionless as it can get.
It is a generalised departmental statement without any new political, social or economic initiative. So be prepared for an aimless, visionless spell of governance, bereft of any newness in approach or any creativity,” he said—(KNO)
