| PDP introduced stability, accountability in J&K: Mehbooba | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, July 7 : Peoples Democratic Party has reemphasized that while performing the role of a responsible and effective opposition it will continue to address larger political, constitutional and economic issues for a peaceful resolution of Kashmir problem. Addressing a day long meeting of senior party leaders, legislatures and District and Zonal Presidents of Kashmir division the Party president Mehbooba Mufti asserted that the party’s vision for resolution of short term and long term problems was now gaining universal acceptability. Mehbooba said the decade long performance of the youngest party on the political scene of the state had introduced an element of stability, accountability and mainstreaming of Kashmir problem between India, Pakistan and the people of the state. J&K she said was no more a monopoly state for any political party and PDP’s positive role had ensured that people became aware of their rights within the system and were raising their voice through democratic means which the present world order and national leadership could not afford to ignore.
Referring to the immense miseries and hardships faced by the people of the state over the past two decades Mehbooba said the time frame of our problems in fact goes beyond 1990. it is a legacy of our history that successive generations of the state have suffered because of events that were not entirely either of their making or under their control. PDP she said has tried to identify the areas that need to be addressed on political, diplomatic, constitutional and economic fronts for bringing in a real change into the life of ordinary people and self rule was the outline of that vision.
Mehbooba said the party was launching an awareness campaign about different aspects and elements of self rule so that the real stakeholders, the residents of the state, are fully aware of what the PDP stands forMehbooba said her and Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s and other party leader’s decision to leave a national party was guided by their conscience & concern for the states interest that had continuously been compromised or ignored. The gains made under the leadership of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed since 2002, were however unfortunately being frittered away now resulting in wide spread unrest.
Expressing serious concern over the problems faced by people PDP president cautioned the government about a looming economic crises marked by an acute food shortage in almost all areas of the state. Coupled with an almost failed power supply system in rural areas and non availability of kerosene at government depots the situation she said had reached a breaking point for the consumers. She said the political leadership in the government should instead of reeling out statistics provided by the officials try to reach out to the people to find out for them selves as to how a famine like situation had developed in most areas especially the kandi and hilly belts of Kashmir valley and rain fed areas of Jammu, Poonch Rajouri and Chenab valley. Even the Chief Ministers announcement in February this year about enhancement of ration scales had turned out to be another false promise she added and asked the party cadres to effectively project the problems of the daily life of the people.
