SRINAGAR: CPI (M) leader and former Kulgam legislator, Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami on Saturday said that attaching National Conference (NC) president, Dr Farooq Abdullah’s property by the Enforcement Department (ED) is vindictive.
“The media reports about Enforcement Directorate (ED) attaching property of Dr Farooq Abdullah is nothing but a political vendetta as the BJP government has been unnerved by the support of people to Peoples’ Alliance for Gupkar Deceleration (PAGD) in the just concluded DDC polls,” he said in a statement issued to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO).
He said attaching the property of Dr Abdullah is part of vindictive politics practiced by the Central government to kill dissent and disagreement across the country and the present case has surfaced at a time when the District Development Council Polls have just concluded.
“The BJP government must realize the dangers of witch-hunting and intimidation and desist from vindictive designs. It is time for secular democratic forces across the country to raise their voice against such designs of the BJP government,” Tarigami said.
