JAMMU : Peoples Democratic Party, the mainstream opposition, today submitted memorandum to Governor N N Vohra on new administrative units. “We are protesting for the last two days but nobody in the government is ready to listen us,” PDP president Mehbooba Mufti told reporters outside the Legislative Assembly.
She said people across the State are on roads and protesting for their rights but the Government is paying no attention to their demands.
“Our voice is being muzzled, public interest is getting ignored and we are being deprived of our right to represent,” she said.
The PDP president said it is under this compulsion that the party has been compelled to walk to Raj Bhawan and seek intervention of the Governor so that justice is done and the areas that have been left out in the arbitrary distribution of Administrative Units in the State are also given their due share. “We take this opportunity to seek intervention of the Governor to restore the dignity of the Legislature and uphold the Supremacy of Constitution and Law,” she added.
Ms Mufi also criticised Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for not attending the House proceedings.
“The Chief Minister is busy on ‘tweeting’ than paying attention to the people’s problems,” she said adding that he must attend the session and listen to the grievances and address them.
Terming the Omar-led coalition Government as a Government of scams and scandals, Ms Mufti said, “this Government has nothing to count in achievements than scams and scandals.” JKCA Scam, Drug Scam, Haji Yousuf Death, Shabir Khan Molestation case and many others are there, of which the Government is loaded with, she alleged.
She, however, said they want Governor to intervene as early as possible to resolve the matter and do justice. (AGENCIES)
