Congress would take decision only after Mir fails to defend
SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Congress President, Prof. Saifuddin Soz on Saturday said that Agriculture Minster Ghulam Hassan Mir should be given a chance to defend himself against the allegation of having tried to bring down the Omar Abdullah Government by taking money from the Army.
He said the allegations were “still not verified” as they have appeared only in a newspaper, which, he said, “can’t be taken as complete evidence to hold a person guilty.”
Soz however added that if Mir failed to defend himself, the Congress will take a decision.
“I have read Indian Express. In the pretext of that story, the allegations are serious, but then the GOI has to go deep into it and only then we would be able to take a stand on it.” Soz told reporters in a press conference at Srinagar, according to a local news agency, KNS.
“You must give importance to Ghulam Hassan Mir’s statement also. Let him prove that the allegations are wrong.” Soz however stressed that Mir should come forward to clear the air.

When asked about the remarks made by National Conference Additional Secretary Dr. Mustafa Kamal against him, Prof. Soz said that Kamal’s statement were “always useless and ridiculous.”
“I am representing Kashmiris in the parliament and don’t believe in compromising their wishes and aspirations,” he said.
