Yaseen said early restoration of statehood and holding of assembly election was imperative to remove the prevailing socio- political uncertainty in Jammu and Kashmir. He said in absence of a civilian government, the prevailing administrative inertia whole of the J&K has been pushed to wall on all socio- economic cum- developmental fronts.
He enjoined upon the Center to fulfill its off repeated promises to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir as early as possible , which, he said was primarily essential to remove the prevailing disenchantment , alienation and mistrust among the people.
“Alienating and outraging people for petty political gains was in no way in the interests of the country , “ PDF Chairman observed adding that those thinking on such lines were totally disillusioned.
