| J&K needs caring govt, committed politicians: Mehbooba | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Feb 8
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Ms Mehbooba Mufti has said that Jammu & Kashmir is at the threshold of a momentous transformation and it today needs, more than ever before, a caring administration, which only a truly committed political party can provide. "Given its performance while heading the Coalition Government, PDP can humbly claim that it has tried its best, and succeeded to a large extent, in upholding this norm," she said.
Addressing an impressive public meeting at Marh today, Ms Mufti said in the coming elections PDP would go to the people with its commitment to remain by their side, to fight for their cause and to bring a qualitative improvement in their lives. "PDP stands for political power for the common good and not for a selected privileged few," she said and added that while heading the Coalition Government the party upheld these ideals and the results were there for everybody to see. "It is a matter of great satisfaction for PDP that the performance of the Government headed by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed is today being acclaimed unparalleled not only by the people within the State, but outside as well," she said and added that the party would continue to work for the people of the State with fresh resolve.
The PDP President reiterated her party's resolve to work hand-in-hand with the progressive and democratic forces in the region to set a new agenda for the State's peace and prosperity. "Our focus would be on fulfilling the party's unfinished agenda of ensuring political stability and economic prosperity for the people in all the regions and sub regions of the State," she said and added that both short and long term measures would be taken to get the State and its people their due share of the global economic bonanza. "The rich natural resources available in three regions of the State have sustained us throughout our recorded history of five thousand years," she said and added that these resources need to be harnessed fully to bring the State at par with its counterparts in the country in terms of the economic growth.
Urging the State's youth to get actively involved in political decision-making, Ms Mufti said the youth shall have a decisive role in the future democratic exercises and they must fully assert themselves to become active partners in ensuring State's political stability and economic development. "Instead of remaining dormant recipients of political decisions, the youth must take charge of the political decision-making processes to lay the strong foundations for a peaceful and progressive Jammu & Kashmir," she said and added that it is with this objective that PDP has carved out a Youth Development Policy to ensure participatory involvement of the youth in decision-making.
The PDP President said the people of the State have now developed huge stakes in peace and political stability and they want to reap the fruits of globalization and economic liberalization sweeping the region. She said as has been envisioned by the PDP, people in all the regions of the State must get equal share and opportunity to realize their full potential by taking advantage of the human resource and the State's natural resources and geographical location.
Ms Mufti said the PDP has set new and ethical standards of political morality and steadfastness thereby making the traditional political parties more accountable before the electorate. She said the State's conventional political clan, which was used to deceiving the people in the name of one or the other juggling act, is stunned by this new reality and this has led its leadership to further confusion and desperation.
The public meeting was organized by Thakur Suran Singh, PDP Zonal President Marh.
PDP leaders Ved Mahajan, Dhaman Bhasin, Shanti Devi, H R Chargotra, Baldev Salathia and K K Sharma were present. |
