Mendhar | Dec 27
“It is high time that governments of India and Pakistan accelerate the pace of peace process and take further CBMs without, of course making these measure conditional to an ultimate conclusion of the contentious issues”. This was urged by PDP General Secretary Murtaza Khan while addressing an impressive crowd here in the border town of Mendhar today. Stressing his demand to reopen the Tattapani (Mendhar) crossing point which was closed some 18 months ago as a portion of the road leading to the point was washed away by rains, he said that “the road has been since repaired but the point has not been reopened” adding that “largest number of divided families in the entire region reside in Mendhar, hence both the governments must take necessary steps to reopen the crossing point to make the journey trouble-fee”. Khan also urged that number of pending applications seeking LoC Permit is increasing day by day due to unwarranted hiccups and delaying tactics at certain levels which be removed by both the Governments to make the exercise more meaningful.
PDP general Secretary also urged the Central Government to implement its decision of withdrawal of troops from public institutions in letter and spirit adding that a number of educational and public institutions are still under the occupation of the security forces in Poonch and Rajouri.
PDP District President Abdul Hameed Manhas while addressing the meeting referred to the achievements of the PDP led coalition. He however, said that by shifting the University campus from Surankot to Dingla in Poonch and not opening a Degree college for women in Surankot, the Chief Minister has rubbed salt on the wounds of the people of Surankot who will teach a befitting lesion to the culprits.. Referring to NC’s defeat in Haveli bye-election, Manhas claimed that this could come about mainly because of PDP’s support and hastened to add that in the coming assembly election Nation Conference would be whipped out of the twin border districts completely making room for PDP.
