Jammu: Asserting that Jammu and Kashmir was passing through a crucial phase and it was the time when one has not to shore up individual political stakes through distribution of relief among the victims, but ensuring that the help reaches the most deserving, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed Wednesday once again offered his partys fullest support to the government to tackle the unending crisis, caused by unprecedented floods, in Kashmir and major parts of Jammu province.
In a statement, Mufti said that instead of indulging in long term policy talk with the Prime Minister at this juncture the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir should focus on immediate issues and gear up his administration which still seems in disarray.
Mufti said the invisibility of administration at this crucial juncture was not only shocking but intriguing as well. It is the same administration, officers and civil servants who have worked most impressively in the past, the PDP patron said adding, The same administration has performed exceptionally well at all the crucial times, whether it was tackling the post militancy reconstruction or the earthquake of 2005. He said same spirit has to be revived to pull the people of Kashmir out of their most testing hour but it was unfortunate that the political leadership in the government had without exception, proved grossly unequal to the task.
Responding to widespread complaints that elementary life saving help was still awaited by most uprooted victims, Mufti said instead of trying to seek more assistance from centre at this juncture it was important to ensure judicious distribution of what the state has already received. He said there are complaints of gross misconduct and favoritism in distribution of relief which need to be strongly curbed.
