Srinagar, July 31 (NationPress) The President of the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP), Ghulam Nabi Azad, asserted on Thursday that the nation should place its trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi rather than in the statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Mr. Trump makes numerous claims, but our elected Prime Minister has explicitly stated in Parliament that no global leader interfered in Operation Sindoor. Therefore, this matter is settled. Taking action against terrorism is crucial, and as Chief Minister, I consistently ensured that there were no human rights abuses,” the former Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir remarked.
He further asserted that during his tenure as Chief Minister, he always directed security forces to carry out anti-terror operations while also ensuring that no civilians were harmed in false encounters.
“During my administration, police apprehended three individuals from Srinagar and falsely labeled them as Pakistani terrorists before executing them. I ordered the exhumation of the bodies and mandated a thorough investigation, which led to the incarceration of 13 policemen, including an SSP and several inspectors,” he claimed.
When inquired about his views on Omar Abdullah's performance as Chief Minister, Azad responded, “He has been elected as Chief Minister; let him carry out his duties, I do not wish to intervene.”
He also reflected on his time as Parliamentary Affairs Minister, reminiscing, “I served as Parliamentary Affairs Minister three times. I have always believed that Parliament should function smoothly.”
Azad emphasized that true leadership is about dialogue rather than drama. He recounted how, in the past, when leaders like Atal Bihari Vajpayee spoke, they would not obstruct him from addressing Parliament, as advised by Indira Gandhi, who urged them to listen and engage in constructive debate.
“I advise young parliamentarians that if they do not wish to enable Parliament's functionality, their election is pointless. They could voice their opposition from home,” he stated.
Azad remarked that when the opposition exits the house, it inadvertently supports the ruling party by allowing them to pass legislation without opposition.
He concluded by stating that Parliament should foster discussions on national, international, and local matters to arrive at informed decisions through dialogue.
