| Crime, corruption cloud CM institution: Mufti | | | Early Times Report
Bishnah, Feb 12: Former Chief Minister and patron of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said that credibility and authority of the institution of Chief Minister has been undermined due to recent developments in the state.
Addressing an impressive public gathering at village Bana Chak in Bishnah assembly segment to welcome large number of people who recently joined PDP, Sayeed said that credibility of other democratic institutions was already eroded in the state during the last three years.
He observed that such developments, especially erosion of the institution of Chief Minister, are not in favour of democracy in the state. "Recent development reflect that dignity of state is also compromised", he said.
Pointing towards rampant corruption and nepotism in the state, Sayeed regretted that it is first time in the history of the State that the highest institution of Chief Minister is under cloud in the terms of crime and corruption. "People usually look towards head of the government for providing good governance and justice to them but when the head of the government is himself facing inquiry, from where one can expect justice?", he observed, adding, "recent developments, especially when institution of Chief Minister is under suspicion, have been sending wrong message at lower level".
Reiterating resolve of his party to change the present corrupt system with the support of the people, Sayeed exhorted the new entrants in the party to spread message of the PDP among the masses. "PDP wants to change fate of the people of Jammu and Kashmir through democratic means", he said. He sought cooperation and support of the people to establish a new system of justice and equality in this region.
"PDP as a political party has emerged strong alternative in the state because this party has earned credibility of the masses due to its programmes and policies", he said, adding, "unlike other political parties PDP has never compromised with its principles just for the power".
Highlighting achievements of his government, former Chief Minister said that PDP led regime had strengthened credibility and authority of democratic institutions in the state through its visionary policies. "Not only credibility of these institutions were established but peoples' faith in such institutions was also restored during our regime", he said and recalled that it was during PDP led regime that transparency and accountability was established in the system. He made a reference towards institutionalization of recruit process during PDP led regime. "During our regime more than 60,000 teachers were appointed under Rehbar-e-Talim (ReT) scheme in total transparent manner and only deserving youth were appointed on these posts", he said but regretted that backdoor appointments have already been started in the state under the present dispensation.
T S Bajwa, Thakur Balbir Singh, Hussain Ali Wafa, Ashiq Hussain, Chatter Singh Saini, Tarseem Saini, Som Nath, Ajay Sharma, Satpal, Deepu Choudhary, B S Charak and others also addressed the meeting. |
