Srinagar 2 May – Asserting that the National Conference is committed to permanent peace and political stability in the state for all-round development and economic growth, the NC senior leader & Finance Minister, A.R. Rather Saturday said that the party would play its pivotal role in bettering the Indo-Pak relations.
“Our endeavour will be to work for resumption of Indo-Pak dialogue and the internal talks between the Union Govt. and the separatists to open venues for settlement of all issues relating to Jammu & Kashmir”, he added. He said that NC would take initiative in this direction soon the new Govt. takes over at the Center.
Mr. Rather was addressing public meetings at Buzgo, Nilnag, Gogi Pathri, Kotbal, Bonan, Kharigund and Brinjan in Char-i-Sharief constituency. He said good and friendly Indo-Pak relations were imperative for peace & development in the Sub-Continent especially in Jammu & Kashmir.
Blaming PDP for propagating dual traits in politics, the Finance Minister said that PDP has made policy of deceit and division its bench mark, “At one hand this party appeased BJP by demanding scraping of Sindh Water Treaty to stop water to Pakistan and on the other hand the leadership of this party deceives people by willfully abstaining from voting and fanning emotions on crucial issues”,
Saying that NC would continue to advocate its Autonomy proposal at all forums, Mr. Rather cautioned the people against the nefarious design of PDP. He said PDP works under the direction of RSS and BJP to create confusion in the political scenario of J&K and added that this party divides the people by floating imaginary ideas like self rule. He said in fact Mr. Jagmohan is the author of PDP’s self rule, the contours of which are not even clear to the PDP leadership itself.
Mr. Rather said that indulging in baseless propaganda against NC & its leadership have become the tradition of this party since it has been created by BJP to mislead the people of Jammu & Kashmir by emotional blackmailing & divisive politics.
Mr. Rather asked the people to cast their vote in favour of NC candidate from Srinagar-Budgam Parliamentary Constituency Dr. Farooq Abdullah to seek their proper representation in the Center & speedy development of their area.
The meeting which were attended by large number of people, were also addressed by various NC
