Early Time Report
Srinagar, June 21 :Calling for unity among people of the state against the alleged loot of the state's natural resources, the Kashmir Economic Alliance has held the State and Central governments responsible for receding J&K to 'a consumer state'. "The state and central government have converted J&K into a consumer state through their defective policies", said Mohammad Yaseen Khan Chairman of the KEA.
The alliance held the Indus Water Treaty between India and Pakistan responsible for the pitiable condition of the state's economy. "The treaty was signed by the two countries to throw people of the state into darkness. The loot of natural resources is being carried out by NHPC for the last 30 years for which both the central and the state governments are responsible," Khan alleged.Khan was addressing a gathering at Ganderbal on the occasion of a "business seminar" organized by the Kashmir Economic Alliance.
Khan said that despite immense potential to become one of the leading exporters of goods, negligence of successive governments at the central and state level, has relegated J&K to a consumer's state status.Urging traders and businessmen to unite to press for their demands, Khan said that the reason, KEA is traveling to all the districts is to arouse the spirit of unity among all the stakeholders in Kashmir." Enough is enough. We have suffered a lot. Now, it is time to call a spade a spade. Unity among all of us is the only way to defeat the nefarious designs of government. Otherwise, if we continue to seek justice in segregation, nothing, except helplessness will come our way," he said.
Blaming Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah for failing to deliver in his own constituency, Khan said that it is a matter of shame that once launched with much fanfare the proposed central university at Ganderbal has not taken off.
