| Delay in civic elections exposed undemocratic character of NC: PDP | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 4: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Jammu-Poonch Lok Sabha seat Yash Pal Sharma today called upon the people to teach a lesson to the coalition for depriving common masses of their democratic rights. Addressing series of public meeting at Mohalla Chand Kour at ward number 16, Talab Tillo and Nai Basti areas, Yash Pal Sharma MLC said that failure of Omar Abdullah led government to conduct civic bodies elections was a clear indication that this regime was not interested in strengthening democratic institutions in the State. He said that civic bodies elections were due in the month of February 2010 but the government has been delaying these elections with one or other excuse. "By delaying civic bodies elections, the state government has deprived residents of urban areas of their democratic rights", he said and exhorted the people to teach a lesson to the coalition for bullodozing democratic institutions. Mr Sharma reminded the people that it was during the regime of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed that civic bodies elections were held in the state after a gap of more than two decades. He, however, said that National Conference leadership always tried to dismantle democratic institutions in the State. "Successive National Conference regimes have never allowed democracy to flourish in J&K", he said and added that by delaying civic bodies elections in the state the National Conference leadership has shown its undemocratic face to the people of J&K. |
