| Mehbooba accuses NC of ignoring Srinagar | | 'Viability of self rule vision already established' | | Early Times report
Srinagar, May 2 : People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti today said the self rule vision presented by her party was already being implemented on ground in certain ways. Addressing party sympathizers and workers at Makhdoom Sahib Khanyar, Brarinambal Habakadal and Chandpora Harwan here today. She said self rule had emerged the only viable and feasible solution to the problem of Jammu and Kashmir. "Whether it is trade and travel across the LoC or opening of traditional routes with out side world that connect the state to regions as far as central Asia are already on the table between India and Pakistan", she said.Mehbooba said important principles had been settled in allowing travel across the LoC without passport and visa and trade without formalities of import, export and custom duty. These principles were now being built upon by the two countries in their bit to find a lasting solution that brings relief and satisfaction to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. She said when this vision is fully implemented it would liberate the state from an artificial siege that had suffered in the wake of partition while all other proposals for resolution had only been used for political exploitation and power bargaining. Mehbooba said the issue of the exploitation of water and power resources of the state represented a major economic concern for the people of the state. She said the state had been reduced to a begging bowl by handing over its immense water resources to NHPC without even as much as a formality of an MoU. Mehbooba said even though Srinagar city had politically been exploited by the ruling NC for more than six decades, the party had failed to respond to its growing needs of development. She said most of the city has been degenerated into a slum, traffic problem have assumed dimensions of a crisis and if the government is not able to manage the streets how can it address larger issues. She said the dog mannace is threatening lives of the people and scores of them are getting bitten every day and it seems the government is enjoying the plight of the people with whose eight representatives in the Assembly and one in the Parliament, the NC is enjoying luxuries of power. Mehbooba said that her party would take up effectively the rehabilitation issues of the weaker sections of the people of Tujgari Mohalla and Sheikh Mohalla in Khanyar constituency. Zonal Presidents Muneeb Ah Bhat, showkat Hafiz, Mohd Shafi Mir, Youth general secretary Showkat Gayoor, youth organising secretary Syed Irfan and district youth president Jahangir Wani were also present and spoke on this occasion. |
