SRINAGAR: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today cautioned National Conference (NC) against pushing Kashmir again into a quagmire of death and destruction for petty political gains.
According to a statement , Sayeed said while addressing a series of election meetings in Zadibal and Kangan Assembly segments of Srinagar Parliamentary constituency: I am sure the emancipated voters of Srinagar wont allow NC to reenact the gory gambit of orchestrating reckless violence and using various devious means to ensure poll boycott, as it tried to do in South Kashmir.
PDP Senior Vice-President Moulvi Iftikhar Hussain Ansari, partys candidate for Srinagar Parliamentary constituency Tariq Hammed Karra, Moulvi Abid Ansari and Moulvi Imran Ansari also addressed the rallies.
Sayeed said unfortunately the massive developmental interventions like Rapid Transport System, drainage network, institutional upgradation, beautification and conservation program for Dal and other water bodies initiated by the PDP government between 2002 and 2005 were put on backburner by the present regime. Earlier Omar Abdullah used to apologize for his grandfathers fault of gifting J&K to India, his fathers baggage of implementing POTA, constituting Task Force, rigging elections, institutionalizing corruption, banning Shahtoosh and recruitments, now he (Omar) has to rightfully add his own non-performance to the list of apologies, he said.
Addressing the rallies, PDP senior Vice-President Moulvi Iftikhar Hussain Ansari said as a partner of the coalition government with Congress, PDP had pursued the goals and objectives set in the common minimum program for finding a peaceful resolution to the problems of the State, rolling back of the draconian laws and pursuing a healing touch policy in its dealings with the people.
He said unfortunately, the National Conference has played the most intriguing role at the crucial phases of the States history to sabotage any solution to the problem. NC sold the very soul of the State by gifting water resources to the NHPC, which generated billions from it and J&K having steeped into perpetual darkness as a result, Ansari said and added that Omar Abdullah had gone a step ahead of his father in handing over the fully operational Baghliar power project to NHPC within the first two months of assuming office. He said earlier Dr Farooq Abdullah had gifted seven power projects to NHPC in 2000 to please his BJP friends in NDA Government. He urged people to vote and support Tariq Hameed Karra, PDP candidate for Srinagar-Budgm Parliamentary constituency to send a strong representative voice to the Parliament.
