While expressing resentment over the law passed by BJP led government, Fiaz Diwan said that laws like property tax has pushed the people of Jammu and Kashmir into a critical situation.
Talking to reporters, Shahid Ahmed said that the Modi government’s decision of demonetisation, its “faulty” implementation of GST and the inept handling of the COVID-19 situation and lockdown have “destroyed” the country’s economic structure.
“When Shri Narendra Modi became the prime minister, he promised the youth of the country that he will give jobs to 2 crore youths every year. He sold a dream, but the reality is that 14 crore people have become unemployed due to the policies of Narendra Modi,” he alleged.

He further criticized the government for abolishing the result of J&K Bank PO recruitment, termination order of paramedical staff and health workers under SRO24, not-filling vacancies of 50,000 announced by the then Governor of J&K on fast track basis.
