Conference, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) , Congress and Independent groups assembled at press enclave in Srinagar today and observed a one day fast to press their demands regarding empowerment of Panchayati Raj Institutions in J&K.
The programme was organized by J&K Panchayati Raj Movement an organization working for empowerment of Sarpanchs and Panchs and better Panchayati Raj in J&K.
Large number of Sarpanches and Panches belonging to various districts of Valley and across party lines assembled in press enclave today to observe the one day fast.
Speaking on the occasion, Convener of J&K Panchayati Raj Movement Shahnawaz Sultan criticized the coalition Government of playing politics with regard to strengthening of Panchayati Raj in J&K. He accused the Government of not being clear on issues related to 73rd amendment, powers to Panchayat members and monthly honorarium for Sarpanches and Panches.
"Our leaders are telling people that 73rd amendment is not possible to be introduced in J&K in view of article 370 but I want to ask them why was MG NREGA extended to J&K ? There is lot of money in NREGA and that is why it was extended into J&K, Shahnawaz Sultan added.
Founder member of J&K Panchayati Raj Movement Bashir Ahmad Mir who is also
Sarpanch of Kralpora Chadoora demanded that Sarpanches and Panches must be provided monthly honorarium. If our demands are not fulfilled then we may be forced to go for indefinite strike also said another member of PRM Ghulam Mohammad Raina. |
