Reacting to Gen Sinha's remarks against the party and its patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, PDP district president Srinagar Ghulam Qadir Pardesi said, "Such remarks can only come out of a frustrated mind and these could not deter PDP from its duty towards the people." Pardesi added that Gen Sinha right from his taking over as governor of Jammu and Kashmir was not happy with PDP Mufti Mohammad Sayeed as the latter had proved a stumbling block in his scheme to communal polarization in the state.
Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, Pardesi pointed out had questioned the former Governor's attempts to run the Shrine Board as an independent republic within the State for three years and Gen Sinha's anger is understandable against Sayeed was understandable. Pardesi said Sinha had a number of reasons to be annoyed by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed as the later had advised a realistic timeframe for the Yatra that would neither risk the life and comfort of pilgrims nor fiddle with its basic character. The effigies of Gen Sinha were also burnt at Anantnag and Inderwal as well. (Writer-South Asia)
