Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 7: All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference (AJKPC) have made it clear that no member of the Conference shall contest the MLC election and they shall continue their fight for the empowerment of the Panchayati Raj Institutions in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a press conference here today, Chairman AJKPC Shafiq Mir and General Secretary AJKPC Anil Sharma said that we seek strengthening of democracy at grass root level. We are more concerned for the safety and security of our Panchs and Sarpanchs and not to become MLCs.
The AJKPC leaders accused and blamed the J&K government that it had deliberately announced the MLC's elections from Panchayat quota just to divert the attention from the real issue of empowering Panchayat institutions in the state.These elections are nothing but an eyewash and Panchs and Sarpanchs have never made any such demand.
Chairman AJKPC further clarified that when already MLAs and MLCs were against their empowerment why should we add four more in the this brigade.
The Panchayat Conference leaders have appealed to all the Panchs and Sarpanchs of the state, if somebody (Politician) comes to them for vote they must put conditions before him like implementation 73rd amendment, secondly, announce the salary for Panchs and Sarpanchs and, announce the security for Panchs and Sarpanchs, establish the three tier Panchayats first and then come for votes.
The AJKPC leaders also criticized the statement of Union Panchayati Raj Minister where he had shown helplessness on providing security to the Panchs and Sarpanchs. |
