EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, June 13 :PDP leadership has blame ruling coalition for chaotic security situation in the Kashmir valley. PDP General Secretary Dilawar Mir said that the failure of the Government to resolve the problem of unemployment and growing level of poverty in Kashmir were the causes of present unrest. Mir stated that both the central and the state governments seem to be immune to the aspirations and problems of the people of Kashmir. He said that the PDP had been campaigning in favour of withdrawal of troops from civilian areas and repeal of AFSPA. But the state and the central Governments have not so far conceded this demand. He claimed that things would have improved if the Government had accepted our suggestions.
The PDP leader said that National Conference led coalition government had not been able to feel the pulse of the people with the result that issues and problems needing immediate attention were left unresolved. This further accentuated peoples' anger against the ruling alliance. "If the Assembly election is held right now National Conference would receive would be mauled in the hustling," he said.
Mir wanted a detailed probe into the allegations of a renowned cardiologist, Dr Shawl whose proposal of building a super class hospital in Srinagar was sabotaged by the State government. He said a judicial enquiry needed to be instituted to ascertain the truth of demand of one crore rupees from Dr. Shawl to clear his proposal.
.If it was found true then proper action should be taken against the minister alleged to have demanded the bribe. In reply to a question Mir said that the employment policy framed by the National Conference-led Government had yet to show its results. He said day in and day out National Conference promised to provide jobs to all unemployed youth but these promises were not fulfilled and the number of unemployed youth registered with employment exchanges had crossed five lakhs.
The PDP leader urged the centre to review party's demand for withdrawal of troops and repeal of AFSPA. He added that once these demand were accepted, it could create an atmosphere conducive for the talks between India and Pakistan as well as Delhi and the separatists. He suggested that the Prime Minister implement "our suggestion" at least on an experimental basis. He hoped the up-coming dialogue between the two sides would be result oriented.
He wanted New Delhi to accept PDP's self-rule concept as it has the potential of fulfilling the aspirations of the people of the State, Islamabad and Delhi.
