“We highlighted the importance of addressing political issues politically and carrying forward internal and external dialogues with consistency to achieve normalcy and register lasting peace in the State. I am not the person who will forget the basic political issues confronting the State when on chair and ventilate these when out of power. I as a Chief Minister of the State vehemently underlined the necessity of concentrating on resolution of basic political issues, revocation of AFSPA and reduction in the footprints of forces”, he said adding that it was during his regime that the reduction of forces took place and 40 bunkers were removed from Srinagar city. “ “Those who do not see these achievements and positive developments on political scenario, during their time only mislead public by raising political slogans and making announcements”, he said.

“Deceit is the trade mark of this party and nurturing on falsehood is its trait”, he said adding that their slogans of employment to every household and ‘goli nahi boli’ proved a total fiasco like their other promises made to people. He said that this party (PDP) raising false slogans about opening of LoC routes, even opposed the resolution in the Assembly regarding return of youth from PoK.
“We have now taken initiative in this regard under the newly introduced Rehabilitation Policy to enable the youth to return and be a part of normal life activities”, he added.
Chief Minister said that holding of panchayat elections in the State after a period of 33 years is a historic event and this achievement of his Government would go a big way to strengthen the democracy and empowering grass-root public representatives.
