Jammu, Aug 17: Stating that corruption has become a 'norm,' patron Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mufti Mohammad Sayeed Wednesday said that Kashmir needs Hazare from every household to fight the menace.
Expressing anguish over the looming uncertainty in the state, patron Peoples Democratic Party, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said that the breakdown of administration actually underlines the inefficiency and insensitivity of the incumbent political dispensation.
Addressing a largely attended public meeting at Patta Road Bohri on Akhnoor road, here today, the former CM said that the brewing discontent among the people has created an explosive situation, which if not defused by setting the things right, has the potential of degenerating into total chaos. He cautioned that insensitiveness of political dispensation was leading the state back into the turmoil from which the state was still to recover fully.
"The governments keep changing but the administration remains same and success or failure of administrative institutions actually reflects the will and commitment of political leadership towards its people and the direction it provides", he said adding, "the failure of the administration to deliver is actually the failure of the political leadership to govern". He said the present government had made one of the finest administrative machines in the country a laughing stock and a source of discomfort for people.
Cautioning that the space of the mainstream political leadership could once again shrink in the state, Mufti Sayeed said that the governance deficit and inefficiency on the part of the present dispensation was adding to the crises, state has been thrown into.
Observing that indecisiveness of the government to act on sensitive issues like human rights violation, corruption, unemployment and go against those promoting corruption has disappointed the people of the state. "I am afraid people are again feeling alienated as there was no one to listen to their grievances". He said corruption had become a norm in the state and the government had crippled all anti corruption and vigilance institutions with the government 'offering to take action if the complainant proved an allegation' as if these did not need investigation by the state. Stressing the need for investigating all graft charges he said the political leadership has the responsibility to establish probity by example, which unfortunately was not happening.
While the wide spread discontent among the people was in a good measure due to total failure of the administration he said the government was trying to hide behind the crisis of its own making. The government had abandoned governance and development, created a spectre of militancy and stone pelting and was using it as an alibi to muzzle all criticism or protest, he added. More than five thousand boys who should have been pursuing studies are made to feel like criminals and attend police stations while hundreds are in jails. The arrest and book spree is on, while the government celebrates peaceful summer which in fact was the result of people's initiative, he stressed.
