Omar dismisses backdoor appointment charge

‘Highest number of backdoor appointments took place during PDP rule’

Srinagar, June 26: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday rejected the "backdoor appointments" allegations levelled by PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, saying the government will bring out the entire truth before the people within a day or two.

"There is a saying, the pot calling the kettle back (Ulta Chor Kotwal to Dante). Those who made the most illegal and backdoor appointments, those whose backdoor appointments were cancelled by the courts, do we forget that?" Omar told reporters here.
The PDP chief had yesterday alleged that the NC government has made 25,000 "backdoor appointments" in the union territory.
Omar claimed when Mehbooba was the chief minister in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, her maternal uncle Sartaj Madni's son was hired through a backdoor appointment and then removed as per the court's directions.
"(Can we forget) how many hundreds of backdoor appointments were made in the J&K Bank, in which investigative agencies are still running probes today. If I start counting the backdoor appointments of PDP-BJP (rule), you would not have enough time to count them," he said, adding the highest number of backdoor appointments took place during PDP rule.
The CM asserted he would answer if the PDP backed up its allegations with proof.
"Let them bring even one piece of evidence to back up that allegation, and I am ready to answer. Give just one name of any single candidate who was hired under a backdoor appointment, we are ready to give a clarification. But, we will not give a full response to these baseless allegations here,” he said.
He said the government has gathered all the information, and God willing, in the next one or two days, "two of my senior ministers will address the press and present the entire truth before the people".
