| NC led regime lost its credibility in 15 months: Mufti | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Apr 4: Taking a dig at the ruling National Conference (NC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today said that the coalition government headed by the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has lost its credibility due to its "autocratic policies" in first 15 months of its tenure.
Addressing a public meeting at Gharota, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, former Chief Minister and Patron Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) claimed, "There is no alternative of PDP in the State as our party has earned credibility of all sections of the society due to its convictions and commitments."
"Although we had just 17 members in the previous Assembly, it was result of our conviction, commitment and credibility that the successive governments at Delhi had supported our peace initiatives", he said while recalling the historic statement made by the then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee on April 18, 2003 when he had extended hands of friendship towards Pakistan.
"PDP, through its pro-peace polices, convinced both India and Pakistan to break the ice and take some Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) for restoration of peace in this region", he said, adding, "Whatever steps we initiated for restoring peace, successive regimes at Delhi had endorsed our stand.
"Previous NDA regime headed by Atal Behari Vajpayee and present UPA government led by Dr Manmohan Singh whole heartedly supported the initiatives taken by PDP regime for establishing sustainable peace in this region", he said.
Mufti pointed out that the peace process has received a set back during the last 15 months especially after formation of NC led regime in the State. "What so ever may be the reasons of the impediment in peace process, our party is committed to take this process to the logical end so as to establish lasting peace in this region.
Reiterating his stand that the dialogue is the only way to restore lasting peace in this sub-continent, the PDP patron stressed on the need of taking more Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) to take the peace process, pioneered by the PDP, to the logical end.
"The reconciliation and peace initiatives started after formation of PDP-Congress regime in the State is an irreversible process and there is no alternative to this process", he said while addressing a public meeting at Gharota, adding, "Dialogue is one and only way to solve all problems, and there is need of accelerate the initiatives for resumption of dialogue".
He further said that roadmap laid by PDP-Congress dispensation from 2002 to 2008 was the only way to establish sustainable peace in this sub-continent. He said that PDP through its programmes and policies has created a sense of security among residents of Jammu and Kashmir.
