J&K has become victim of anarchy: Karra

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Apr 23: Dubbing National Conference-Congress Coalition Government as a misfortune for the State, senior People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader and former Finance Minister, Tariq Hameed Karra, today said the people of Jammu and Kashmir have become the victims of ungoverned rage let loose on them by the Omar Abdullah-led non-performing regime.
“The present Government’s formal arrival in J&K in 2009 brought with it worst kind of atrocious miseries for the people as there seems to be complete chaos all around in Kashmir,” Karra said while addressing road-shows in Khanyar and Eidgah Assembly segments of Srinagar Parliamentary constituency.
Lashing out at the State Government for pushing the people into an anarchic and distressing situation and bringing back a sense of insecurity and uncertainty, Karra said the people have already started running out of patience with this disastrous Government as their miseries are multiplying with every passing day.
Reminding Omar Abdullah of the promises made by him before 2008 Assembly polls, Karra said the people want to know where is the much-parroted Truth and Reconciliation Commission on human rights violations, where have the one lakh jobs that were to be given in the first three months of the new Government gone,… and last but not least there is also no word from the Government about removing the electricity meters, slashing the power tariff and making electricity available round-the-clock.
Karra said on the contrary innocent killings have become the order of the day, power position in Kashmir has deteriorated to the worst levels ever, drinking water has become scarce, treasuries are running dry, pensioners are being denied pension, daily-wagers and consolidated workers plead for their wages and so on and so forth.
He said on the other had PDP during its brief stint in the Government between 2002 and 2005 not only provided a sense of security to the people but ensured all around development. He said if people want to see that golden era of governance back, they will have to become the participants in change.
