He explained the present political scenario in the state and called or restoration of the special status guaranteed under Article 370 of the Indian constitution while underlining eroded law has been eroded.

He deplored the neo-liberal policies being pursued by the Centre and highlighted that the labour laws have not been effectively implemented.

Demanding that the government of J&K should come with its policy document regarding welfare of labour class in the State, Tarigami said that performance of "Building and Construction Workers Welfare Scheme" should be made public on monthly basis so that people must know the current scenario of the construction workers welfare board in J&K. "The cess amounting to 100 crores approximately be fully utilized."
