| PDP contests NC claims of water tax recovery | | `Yusuf probe is an eye wash' | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Oct 29: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has exploded National Conference (NC) lies of recovering water tax from NHPC. The PDP also questioned NC's judicial probe into Haji Yusuf killing. Rejecting NC claims of having recovered the tax as misleading, the PDP president Mahbooba Mufti said: "NC government has sacrificed the interests of the state and made a total sellout be it legislative council seats ministerial berths, water resources or power projects for their own personal luxuries."
"The lies about revenue collected from the imaginary water tax from NHPC has been nailed by no less than the Chairman of NHPC Sirivastava, who in his performance report for current year claimed that the state government had waived off water tax worth Rs 453 crores chargable from NHPC, which means more loss to the already crumbling power sector of the state", she said. Mehbooba said the state government's claims on charging tax from the NHPC was suspect from day one as the NC under Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah had been transfering most viable projects to the corporation one after another.
Mufti also questioned setting up of a judicial probe for investigation into the political corruption and the mysterious death of the close associate of Abdullah family Haji Yousuf. Quoting Congress president Saifudin Soz, Mahbooba said the probe was imaginary. She said the state government has lost its credibility on all fronts and it is now impossible for anybody to take seriously whatever it claims especially after the U- turn on AFSPA.
Reiterating the party's stand on revocation of laws like AFSPA Mahbooba said that these laws have lost their relevance and utility with the improvement in situation and they will have to go sooner the later. She asked the center to reach out to the people of Jammu & Kashmir to give them a sense of belonging by making the system more accountable like in other parts of the country. |
