Srinagar, Feb 09, KDC: Senior Peoples Conference leader and former MLA Bashir Ahmad Dar while reacting to a statement issued by Qaiser Lone has said that they should not be bad losers and accept the results sportingly.
“Qaiser Jamshed Lone is day dreaming. With 4 NC members he believes he has the right to get a Chairperson elected an NC ticket while the Peoples Conference with 5 members is not supposed to even think about it. More so we garnered the support of an independent who was elected as the vice chairman. What does Mr Qaiser Lone want? A chairmanship for his brother and if he doesn’t get it then everything is fixed. If they get to make it then everything is okay. The NC was sulking and stayed away. They did the same in Baramulla. If Qaiser says that a partisan approach was used, why did that partisan support not work in Baramulla?”, Bashir Dar said in a statement to news agency Kashmir Dot Com- (KDC).
While expressing that Qaiser’s utterances will have no takers, Bashir Dar said that they should not be bad losers and accept defeat sportingly.
“We are under orders not to issue statements and I am only reacting to what Qaiser said. Otherwise I could tell my people who they had aligned with and how the proposed alliance broke because of differences in who gets what post. If Qaiser wants I will share with him telephone details, details of meetings he had with the very people his party is berating every day. I would suggest him not be bad losers and accept defeat sportingly”, he added.
Asserting that the Peoples Conference shares the concerns of other parties in terms of horse trading, Bashir Dar implored Qaiser to not cry foul at places where they don’t win.
“If you are to raise fingers specifically where you don’t win your utterances will have no takers even at places which seem unambiguously suspicious”, he concluded. (KDC)
