Udhampur, Apr 13- Warning National Conference-Congress alliance against repeating blunder of 1987 election which were brazenly rigged and democratic institutions subverted to grab power, Patron of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed said that ‘we will not allow this opportunist alliance to destabilize the democratic institutions again in the state’ .
“With its utmost efforts and sacrifices, the PDP has revived people’s faith in the democracy so we will not allow this opportunist alliance to destabilize the democratic institutions again in the State”, Sayeed asserted, adding, “the same coalition had shattered people’s faith in democracy in the infamous 1987 elections and that act of the government had proved disastrous for the state of Jammu and Kashmir”.
Addressing a public meeting at Udhampur in support of the party candidate Thakur Balbir Singh, Sayeed before 2002 people did not have faith in the electoral politics but PDP has revived democracy and democratic institutions in the State.
The former Chief Minister, who has winded up his four day long tour of twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri, asserted that people have accepted policies and programs of the party. “The overwhelming response which we have received during our campaigning for Jammu-Poonch Lok Sabha seat is a clear indication that the PDP has emerged as a viable alternative to the National Conference and Congress in the State”.
Reiterating his resolve to remove regional disparities, Sayeed said his government has set an example of equitable and balanced development in Jammu and Kashmir. “PDP led coalition regime has laid a foundation of mutual trust and confidence among the residents of different regions and sub-regions of the State”, he said.
Whether employment or development, PDP led regime treated all regions and sub-regions equally, he said and challenged his opponent to come with any evidence of discrimination with any regions or sub-regions during his regime. He, however, said that there was need to make an institutional arrangement for political empowerment of all regions and sub-regions.
Party candidate for Udhampur-Doda Lok Sabha seat, Thakur Balbir Singh, also addressed the meeting in which Sukhdev Sharma, Rajinder Abrol, Mohammad Amin, Shabbir Ahmed, Abdul Latif, Sansar Chand, Prithivi Chand, Partap Sharma and Gul Shoukat were also present.
