PDP President Mehbooba Mufti-FILE PHOTO
Ganderbal/Srinagar, August 03 (Scoop News)-Urging the state’s youth to lead the movement for change in 2014, PDP president Ms Mehbooba Mufti today said the people have suffered immensely under the present anarchist dispensation that has become a symbol of repression, political chaos, misgovernance, rampant corruption, administrative anarchy and denial of justice.
Addressing a PDP workers convention, organized in connection the party’s Foundation Day celebrations, here today, Ms Mehbooba; “I foresee the State’s people in general and the youth in particular leading the movement for change in Jammu & Kashmir during 2014 political battles to take the functionaries of the present dispensation to task not only for their actions but inaction as well.”
Terming the present dispensation as the biggest misfortune for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba said; “The present government has only brought political chaos, rampant corruption, administrative anarchy and denial of human rights to the state without making any positive contribution on political or developmental fronts.”
Referring to the path-breaking political and developmental initiatives especially the connectivity plan that the PDP led government had launched to connect different regions Mehbooba said, unfortunately, nothing was done by the present dispensation to carry forward those momentous initiatives.
“While on political front a constructive dialogue process was started by the then NDA government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee both with Pakistan and Hurriyat Conference to address the external and internal dimensions of the Kashmir issue, on the developmental front momentous initiatives were taken by the then PDP-led government to boost the economic activity in the state,” she said and added that due to the myopic vision of the leaders of present dispensation the fruits of all those initiatives seem to be going down the drain. “With the result a gloomy era of alienation, cynicism and despair seems to be again making its inroads into the state which could manifest in dangerous consequences,” she said.
The PDP president said hallmarks of this government are a wayward political conduct, ineptitude, corruption, strong arm methods, collapse of administration and institutional degradation. She said even the constituency like Ganderbal represented by the Chief Minister himself has been a victim of misgovernance as nothing tangible has been done in this constituency during the past five years.
Underlining the fact that there was a lack of political direction at the top level of the government, Mehbooba said everybody seems to be interested in personal comforts only without taking an overview of how the state should develop in an era of competition and high expectations. She said in future elections people will have a clear choice and would not suffer for lack of options as in the past.
Addressing the gathering senior PDP leader Tariq Hameed Karra said that it was the people of Ganderbal who led the historic movement for change in 2002 and time has come for the conscious voters of this constituency to repeat it in 2014. He said with the support of the state’s people and given its pro-people agenda while PDP has shown a steady growth in the elections conducted between 1996 and 2008 moving up from one seat in 1996 to 21 in 2008, the National Conference ………… MORE AT………
