| PDP for ensuring fair deal to JK: Mufti | | | Early Times Report
Anantnag, Dec 8: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Patron, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Monday said a renewed and resolute political effort has to be made to reach out to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, ensuring a fail deal to the primary stakeholders - the people of the State.
Addressing series rallies in this south Kashmir constituency, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed said there is no alternative to the agenda of peace and reconciliation, and while the people of the region want it, the changing threat perceptions demand it.
"It clear that democracy should not be confined only to holding of elections in the State, the civil society and the institutions of democracy must get a free play," he said and adding it is time that bold and strong initiatives are taken to strengthen the people's faith in the democratic institutions and processes through significant political and economic measures.
Calling for tangible measures for the rehabilitation of the flood-affected and reconstruction of the flood-hit infrastructure, Mufti said unfortunately no substantive measures have been taken in this regard so far either by the State or the Central Government. "By harping on the meager Rs 1000 crore package, we are only compromising the dignity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir who are not seeking any doles but want to be treated at par with the citizens of any other part of the country in similar circumstances," he said and added that by trumpeting the drum about paltry Rs 10000 crore package and making it a part of the election campaign by BJP leaders is adding insult to the injury as the losses due the devastating September floods in Kashmir are thousand times more than that.
"The current crisis on economic, financial and infrastructure fronts confronting J&K can't be met with small-time responses," he said and adding hat patchworks couldn't improve the quality of life of the State's people and the larger issue of exploitation of State's water and land resources has to be addressed to take care of JK's development needs in the 21st century.
Referring to the developmental issues, Mufti said if PDP gets the mandate to form the next government in the State, it would not only ensure comprehensive rehabilitation of the flood-affected, but would also formulate a flood-protection plan for J&K to safeguard the State from future disasters. He said besides development and expansion of Anantnag town, tourist spots in the district would be provided with fresh infrastructure. He said already sanctioned Medical College would be made functional immediately, an Engineering College and Information Technology Institute would be also established in the area. |
