PDP-BJP government resorting to 'vindictive politics': Congress

JAMMU: The state unit of Congress today accused the PDP-BJP coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir of resorting to "vindictive politics" against leaders of opposition parties especially Congress.

"The PDP-BJP coalition government has resorted to vindictive politics against the leaders of the opposition parties especially Congress," Congress leader Nawang Rigzin Jora alleged in a statement issued here.

The Congress leader said that the PDP-BJP government was "targeting" the leaders of Congress by adopting "politically discriminatory" and "vindictive attitude" in matters like security cover and accommodation including denial of security cover to JKPCC chief Ghulam Ahmed Mir.

"The government does not want the opposition, especially Congress to highlight the problems of the people and the failure of this government," Jora said.

"The government headed by the party which always claimed to treat politics as battle of ideas is adopting such tactics against the opposition," he said.
