Srinagar, June 5 -- Opposition parties on Thursday called into question the decision by Jammu and Kashmir chief minister (CM) Omar Abdullah's decision taking the statehood fight to New Delhi, with some of them terming it as belated exercise. While Peoples Conference (PC) chairman Sajjad Lone has called the chief minister's decision as a 'damp squid ', Srinagar MP Aga Ruhullah Mehdi, who has been in loggerheads with the government on various issues, has extended his support to the decision. The decision was taken during a meeting of National Conference (NC) legislators held on Wednesday. After the meeting, party chief spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq had informed that the NC has decided to take their statehood fight to the Capital. "Our primary demand will be the return of our statehood and constitutional guarantees," Sadiq told reporters. He further informed they will hold protest on first day of monsoon session of the Parliament. NC's Srinagar MP, who wasn't invited to the meeting, said that for the rights of J&K and Article 370, he is ready to join any protest. "I am even ready to resign from my seat if the protests are serious about rights. Otherwise, people will think they (NC) are indulging in theatrics," he said. Lone, who is also legislator from Handwara, dismissed the NC's Jantar Mantar plan as an "underwhelming outcome of a grand threat", and asked the chief minister to pass a resolution. "I had thought the CM sahib would do something innovative, something that would shake the corridors of power in Delhi, that would actually qualify as a bombshell, Lone said, describing it as a damp squib. "What an underwhelming outcome of so grand a threat." Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) legislative party leader Waheed ur Rehman Parra said his party will respond once the NC formally conveys it to the PDP president. "Unfortunately, the Chief Minister didn't respond to the PDP president's letter for joint efforts on state restoration and other issues."...
