Rashid said that NC is responsible for the miseries and destruction of Kashmiri nation as it’s leader late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah first let down Pakistan, then facilitated accession to India and then when lost power in 1953 advocated plebiscite for 22 years and called it as a political waviness in 1975 and finally surrendered to New-Delhi in form of ‘shameful Indra- Abdullah Accord’ and jumped into arms of India and let Kashmiris to further confusion who had no option but to take to gun as their ‘tallest leader’ miserably let them down at the end of the day.National Conference members and ministers got irritated over the remarks and entered into verbal dispute with Er.

He challenged the MLAs that if Jammu & Kashmir is not a disputed territory then can they deny that both India and Pakistan have formally agreed in Shimla, Tashkan, Lahore and Agra that they will resolve the dispute of Jammu and Kashmir . Rashid said that time has proved that government of India is not sincere and is keeping people of Kashmir with India at the barrel of the gun.He asked the government why whole of the Kashmir Valley is continuously being kept under strict curfew and restrictions and people of Kashmir are even not allowed to offer Friday prayers. He said the curfew has been imposed despite the fact that Mutehda Majlis-e-Mushawrat had not issued any strike call for the day.
