VIJAYPUR, Nov 23: National Conference (NC) candidate for Vijaypur Assembly Constituency, Surjeet Singh Slathia today said that divisive politics had no place in a State like Jammu and Kashmir, known for its pluralistic ethos, as it always retarded the growth of progress and development.
“Emotive slogans and exploitation of public sentiment in the name of religion, region and caste are short lived and quite detrimental for the overall interest of the State”, Slathia said while addressing election meetings at Talab Datta, Makorewali, Meen Charkan, Bassi Khurd, Khidian, Khoo Talab, Suchani, Ward No 12 Bari Brahamana, Teli Basti, Bari Brahamana, Tapyal and Bhadori in the Vijaypur constituency.
Slathia, who is also senior State vice president of the party, said unity in diversity of the State had been the real strength which has always opposed the politics of deceit and duplicity. He assailed Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Bharatiya Janata Party for inciting passions by indulging in falsehood. He described the brief tenure of PDP as a misrule which witnessed institutional fabric of the State getting tormented which the then coalition partners working towards belittling each other for vested interest.
He said NC led Government under the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah gave a new direction to development with opportunities of progress to all. This helped all the three regions and their sub-regions grow in each sector of development. He said the achievements of Omar led Government during the past six years have been eye-sore for the opponents who are left agenda-less.
Slathia urged the people to make a decisive bid for defeating the machinations of divisive forces by maintaining unity and tranquility. He hoped that the people will support the progressive and forward looking policies of NC and mark their preference for its candidates across the State.
