| NC leaders seek employment for family: Karra | | 'Dr Farooq's statement contemptuous, disrespecting for voters' | | Early Times Report
Budgam, Mar 26: Senior PDP leader and former Finance Minister, Tariq Hameed Karra today accused National Conference leaders of using politics as an employment avenue instead of a means to serve the public. Addressing a series of public meetings in district Budgam, Karra said that NC patron Dr Farooq Abdullah's latest statement wherein he has counseled his son Omar Abdullah to join Rahul Gandhi's cabinet if UPA comes to power at the Centre, should prove an eye-opener for the people of Jammu and Kashmir that how NC leaders are using the people's mandate to seek employment for the family both at the centre and within the state.
He said while the dismal performance of Dr Farooq Abdullah as a member Parliament is no secret, his latest revealing remarks are not only contemptuous but also affronting for the gullible people who might have voted for him. "While lakhs of highly educated unemployed youth in the State are looking towards their political representatives to create job avenues for them, Dr Farooq seems to be more concerned about looking for job avenues for himself and his son at the cost of the people's mandate," Karra, who is contesting upcoming Lok Sabha polls from Srinagar-Budgam seat, said.
He said sensing defeat for NC in the upcoming political battles, Dr Abdullah has already started exploring alternative job avenues for himself and his son. "I am sure that the emancipated people of Kashmir won't now get carried away by the emotive and propagandist rhetoric of NC leaders and would look for alternative representatives who can serve them better," he said. He said by corrupting various institutions including BOPEE and recruiting agencies, the present government is pushing the youth towards a perpetual state of despair and uncertainty. Karra said the slogan of "Meter Hatao Aur Heater Lagao" coined by Omar Abdullah himself during 2008 electioneering in Srinagar had become very catchy and the time has come for the people to remind the NC leadership of what happened to those promises. Karra said the state's ruling political elite which is preoccupied with enjoying the luxuries of power while the Aam Aadmi is being subjected to all kinds of cruelties and miseries must remember that they have to go back to the same people to seek mandate again.
"The people are fed up with the insensitivity of this self-centered regime and they would respond appropriately to this feeling of utter neglect when the time comes," he said. |
