Jammu|July 11 :The PDP patron is expected to be in Srinagar within next one week.He had gone to the United States for treatment and for meeting his son.According to a senior PDP leader the party is likely to relaunch its pre-poll campaign,which had been suspended since the state was rocked by turmoil over the diversion of land to the Amarnath Shrine Board, soon after the Mufti reached Kashmir.
In reply to a question general secretary of the PDP,Nizam-ud-Din Bhat,today said that Mufti Sayeed and the party chief Ms Mehbooba Mufti will be the star campaigners for "our party campaign for mustering voters support.'Another PDP leader said that the modalities for the pre-poll campaign have been worked out in the meeting of the executive committee in Srinagar on Thursday and same would be ratified by the members of the general council on Saturday.
He said "we have not to look for the pre-poll agenda because it has already been set." He said self-rule,open borders for improving people to people contact,demilitarisation were going to be some of the main poll issues for the PDP.He said that during the campaign the PDP leaders wold list some of the achievements of the Government when it was headed by Mufti Mohd.Sayeed which includes better security and political scenario which had become possible with the introduction of the healing touch by the Mufti led Government.The PDP claims that the security situation started improving soon after the Mufti took over as Chief Minister in November 2002.
When asked for their comments on the rapid erosion the party faced in the Jammu region after its row over the revocation of the land diversion order the PDP leaders said that such an assessment was "premature and not based on the facts."They said "we will be able to explain to the people what rationale was behind our demand for the revocation of the order."They said the PDP never opposed traffic of pilgrims to the Amarnath cave and "we wanted the Government to provide all facilities for the pilgrims." |
