Addressing the gathering, the former Minister said that the people were in distress and there was a feeling of alienation among the people because the administration was not responding to them nor the issues of public concerns were addressed.
“The administration has created an atmosphere where what the public says has no value and it violates the basic democratic values of the country. Therefore, the elections in Jammu and Kashmir were important to elect a Government of the choice of the people,” he added.
He said that the people have lost their faith in the traditional parties including BJP for their hollow slogans and divisive politics that has created an atmosphere of misunderstanding in the society for one reason or the other.
He said that “For last 70 years, the traditional parties exploited the people on regional or religious basis and returned to power from time to time, but they hardly ensured equitable development, employment, and protection of resources of the people in their respective areas.”
He advocated that Jammu and Kashmir should have a sustainable development with a balance to protect its forests, ecology and wildlife which is facing a major threat from urbanization.
He also assured the people that if the party comes to power, they will ensure that the people get employment opportunities at the village level.
