2014 will mark a new beginning for JK: Mufti 4/19/2014 11:26:32 PM Early Times Report Anantnag, Apr 19: Seeking mandate to accomplish the unfinished agenda of durable peace and inclusive prosperity for Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said 2014 would mark a new beginning for the State as winds of change have already set-in. Addressing impressive election rallies in Anantnag and Devsar assembly segments of Anantnag Parliamentary constituency, Mufti said the momentum for change to be laid down in the on-going General Elections would culminate in the State assembly polls to be held later this year. "Despite getting a very short span of three years in power between 2002 and 2005, PDP set into motion a comprehensive process of economic empowerment and infrastructural development in the State which is to be taken to the logical conclusion," Mufti said adding the party's visionary political and economic agenda has made it to emerge as a genuine, strong and credible regional voice of the people of Jammu & Kashmir. He said PDP has already laid an implementable roadmap for addressing the political and economic issues confronting J&K and the party would translate the same into reality with the support of the people. "We have tried to address all the critical issues confronting J&K in various policy documents including Basic Declaration, Self-Rule proposal, Political & Economic Resolutions, Youth Empowerment Policy, Employment Policy and Election Manifestos," Mufti said and added that unlike other political parties PDP took tangible steps to follow-up on its promising vision with a clear direction. "PDP's agenda is to ensure political, economic, job and social security for the potentially gifted people of the State and we would realize this dream," he said and added that Jammu & Kashmir is not a place that needs packages and doles, it has to be given the freedom and assistance to realize its immense economic potential. PDP Patron said there are no limits to the State's economic potential and in addition to its rich water and mineral resources, the brand name Kashmir has many dimensions - be it tourism, art, handicrafts, forests or agricultural and horticultural products. He said the PDP's vision of a peaceful, stable and prosperous Jammu & Kashmir outlined in its Self-Rule document is essentially about neutralizing the historical political and economic excesses with the State that were compounded by its natural and political geography.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
