Asserting that the agenda of his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was the only “practical and viable” solution for restoring peace and tranquillity in the state, former Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today disclosed that even All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Sonia Gandhi had categorically told Ghulam Nabi Azad to follow the policies of the PDP when he became Chief Minister of the state in 2005.

“While appointing Ghulam Nabi Azad as Chief Minister of the state in 2005, Sonia Gandhi had written a letter to him in which she had told him to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor Mufti Mohammad Sayeed for bringing peace in Jammu and Kashmir,” Mufti said while addressing a rally to welcome state general secretary of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Surinder Choudhary, who joined the PDP along with his supporters.
“The PDP through its agenda had not only convinced its coalition partner, the Congress, but the party has even changed the perception of the BJP leadership on Kashmir,” he said, adding that when the PDP-Congress government was formed in 2002, the BJP-led NDA was ruling the country. “We changed the mindsets of BJP leaders also,” he said.

He especially mentioned the speech of former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee at Lal Chowk in Srinagar wherein he had extended the hand of friendship to Pakistan. “Vajpayee’s speech was the turning point in relations between India and Pakistan and the credit for this goes to the PDP because successive regimes at the Centre were convinced about our policies,” he said.
Mufti reminded that when he had relinquished the office of Chief Minister as per the power-sharing agreement with the Congress in 2005, his successor Ghulam Nabi Azad was given clear instructions by the Congress high command to follow policies and programmes of the PDP. “We have presented a roadmap for restoring lasting peace in the region,” he claimed and added that forming a government was not the only aim of the PDP.
Welcoming the BSP leader into the PDP fold, Mufti said the agenda of the PDP was to change the present “corrupt and inefficient system”, which had led to chaos and confusion in the state. “We want to establish a system of justice and equality and for this the support of the people is a must,” he said and claimed that the PDP, with just 16 legislators in its kitty, had scripted a new chapter in the political history of the state. “We had only 16 MLAs in 2002, but we not only formed the government with the Congress but also incorporated our agenda in the Common Minimum Programme (CMP) which was formed to run the government at that time,” he claimed.
The entry of Choudhary into the PDP is being considered as a big catch as he had secured more than 12,000 votes in the last Assembly elections from Nowshera Assembly segment.
