| Mufti asks party leaders to garner public support for PDP’s policies | | |
Jammu, June 3
The PDP patron, Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, has expressed his displeasure over sudden hibernation of his party leaders and activists who, according to him, have failed to upgrade the level of their interaction with a cross section of people in the Jammu region.
Talking to senior PDP functionaries in Jammu on Saturday Mufti Sayeed told them that they should avoid adopting easy chair approach towards mass awakening programmes. He said in the light of his party leaders’ passive approach he and the PDP Chief, Mehbooba Mufti, have decided to tour various areas of the region for acquainting people with the party’s programme.
The Mufti told party leaders in clear terms that as a result of the vigorous campaign launched by his party associates in the Kashmir valley a large number of people there had understood “our programme and outlook.” People have been impressed by the PDP approach on demilitarization and have been supporting “us.” He said had the party leaders followed the footsteps of their counterparts in Srinagar people in the Jammu region would have not been misled by the campaign launched by the critics of the PDP.
Informed sources said that the PDP leadership has been rattled by the campaign launched by the National Conference President, Omar Abdullah, in Poonch and Rajouri districts where he spent 10 days simply in casting the PDP policies. The Mufti has decided to send his daughter, Mehbooba, to Poonch and Rajouri to make people aware of the PDP’s programmes. The Mufti has plans of visiting various areas of Doda district so that the PDP was able to regain its ground that it had lost in the Jammu region following its vehement support to the demand for withdrawal of troops.
The PDP has received a setback in its mass contact programme after its dynamic party activist, Romesh Mottan, quit the party. Mottan had been instrumental in sowing the seed of the PDP in R.S.Pora and adjoining areas. His capability in organizing PDP rallies had been tested. It is in this connection that the Mufti exhorted his party leaders in the Jammu region to get active and do not waste their time on aspiring for one post or the other in the organization. In fact the former Chief Minister wanted his party activists to go to the field and explain to people the policies of the PDP and the role the coalition Government played when Mufti headed it between 2002 and 2005
