Srinagar | Monday, Aug 31
Expressing concern over the growing unrest among the youth of the state, former Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said they were facing tough times due to unemployment and being victimised by invoking Public Safety Act (PSA) on them for protesting the issues of which they were the stakeholders. He said there was growing unrest among the youth due to severe socio economic and political problem. They were confronting in the modern times when economic growth and political emancipation have touched new heights at the global level, he said.
Mr Sayeed was addressing a meeting of youth wing of PDP here. He said the system needed major overhauling for securing bright future of the youth.
''Employment opportunities have to be generated from our own resources which essentially requires scraping of some agreements reached between the former National Conference (NC) regime and the then Union Power Minister Kumara Manglam, to make the state self reliant,'' he said, adding the technocrats and other highly qualified youth should be provided social security till they were employed.
Mr Sayeed reiterated his partys demand of revoking APSPA as a major of confidence building to secure the right of living with honour and dignity. He the government was ''victimising'' the youth by creating an atmosphere wherein the vested interests were exploiting the situation to the fullest.
Mr Sayeed said the old methods of dragging money from the innocent youth have again come into play he expressed apprehensions over what he termed use of brutal methods on peace loving youth of the state and described the act of harassment of youth under the pretext of PSA as ''unwarranted and uncalled for''.
Chief Spokesman of the party Naeem Akhtar emphasised on awareness of youth about the states Right to Information Act which would go a long way in curbing nepotism and corruption
