Early Times Report
Srinagar, Aug 29 (UNI) Asserting that he didn’t have any disillusionment about All Party Meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as it was a social and political interaction, Peoples Conference (PC) chairman Sajad Gani Lone hoped that the centre follows up on it with something concrete.
Mr Lone further said that his party has already emerged as a formidable political force in J&K. “Disappointment after August 5 has galloped. I did not have any disillusionment about the All-Party Meeting. It was a social interaction, a political interaction and an exchange of ideas. I personally did not expect anything from the meeting,” the PC chairman told reporters after a function where Vice Chairman DDC, Kupwara, Haji Farooq Ahmed Mir joined his party.
“I just hope the Centre follows up on it with something concrete. It is imperative that there is no communication gap between the Centre and the people of Kashmir. Continued engagement is the need of the hour,” he added.
Responding to a question about the challenges faced by the leadership in J&K, Mr Lone said that the leaders can’t afford to act in a manner which will hurt the interests of the people of J&K. “Nothing started on August 5 and nothing ended on August 5. Safeguarding the interests of the people, especially the youth of J&K, is the biggest leadership skill in the current times. It is a long game; the leadership will have to be patient if we want to achieve something for the people of J&K,” he said.
Meanwhile, welcoming Mr Farooq into the party fold, the PC Chairman said that the DDC Vice chairperson has a lot of struggle behind him and is widely respected by the people in his area. “It is with great pleasure that we welcome Haji sahib along with hundreds of workers into the Peoples Conference family. This is a march; new people are coming into the Peoples Conference. Like me, Mr Farooq has a lot of struggle behind him. He has a lot of goodwill and is widely respected for the work he has done for his people. He secured more than 10,000 votes, the highest by any candidate in Kashmir valley in the recently held DDC elections,” he said. Mr Lone said a number of prominent political leaders are joining the Caravan of Change. “I am confident that our team will be able to navigate the people of J&K through these difficult and challenging times. We have already emerged as a formidable political force. Together, hopefully, we will write a new chapter in the frontier district. There are many more leaders who are going to join the party in the coming days and weeks,” he said A PC spokesperson said that Mr Mir is currently the Vice Chairman District Development Kupwara (DDC). “He contested the recently held DDC elections, as an independent candidate, from the Wavoora segment of the Lolab constituency. He received more than 10,000 votes, the highest in Kashmir valley and won by a margin of more than 5000 votes, the second highest margin of victory in the valley,” the spokesperson added. |
