SRINAGAR, May 14: Stating that Agenda of Alliance between PDP- BJP in which withdrawal of AFSPA, return of power projects, talks with all stake holders including Hurriyat stands exposed before the people, the J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president GA Mir has said that PDP by virtue of it’s dual standards created a history of betrayals and backstabbing, as that people will always remember the PDP for playing with their emotions of people for the sake of power.
Addressing a largely attended public gathering at Khurhama Lolab in district Kupwara today, Mir reminded the people of promises like revocation of AFSPA, withdrawal of troops, return of power projects etc, made to them by PDP, which has not been fulfilled as yet, rather the alliance partner (BJP) has refuted the so called Agenda of Alliance in toto by saying no to talks with Separatists indicating the contradiction in the approach of PDP- BJP, while as the PDP has secured votes on these sensitive issues, but so far, not even a single promise was fulfilled, as a result people in the entire valley are deeply hurt.
Expressing concern over the rise in militancy related incidents, Mir described the situation as very serious and blamed both Centre and State for the situation saying that Centre lacks Kashmir policy and it has not roadmap to address the issues or deal with situation. He said it is ultimately the people, who continue to suffer due to the unfavourable situation arising from time to time in the Valley, but the irony is that despite the boiling no sincere efforts were made to restore peace and normalcy in Valley.
He said people have realized that this Party which once used to shoulder the coffin of militants is now using all methods to suppress even the genuine voice being raised against wrong policies being adopted by both State and Centre, even the Centre is fully supporting every wrong initiative of State Govt led by PDP to create an impression that all is well in the Valley.
Mir said the successive U- turns by PDP on various occasions, for the sake of remaining power is responsible for the deep hurt feeling among the common masses, even the people in Jammu are feeling isolated due to wrong policies adopted by BJP, as a result, the development of the people as was expected from the ruling dispensation has come to a standstill.
Congress Legislators Haji Abdul Rashid Dar and Gulam Nabi Monga told the people that they should not come under false propaganda of PDP, as this party is in habit of making tall claims and promises, but everyone in the State has realized that this Party which came into existence on different type of slogans has failed to deliver on every count, as a result, their deep alienation among the people which is not a good sign.
PCC spokesperson Farooq Andrabi, senior leaders Shoiab Nabi Lone, SS Channi, and Haji Farooq Mir also addressed the gathering.
