SRINAGAR, Sept 2: National Conference today lashed out at the PDP-BJP Government of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed for their criminal apathy towards the flood victims as the one year anniversary of the devastating floods is days away.
Ali Mohammad Sagar, NC general secretary, said that the lack of any visible effort and political will from the Government to rehabilitate and compensate the flood victims has led to untold miseries and sufferings. The NC general secretary was speaking at a high-level Central zone meeting of the party leaders at NC headquarters in Srinagar.
The meeting was attended by Nasir Aslam Wani, provincial president, senior NC leaders Mubarak Gul, Mohammad Sayeed Akhoon, NC Central zone, president, Ali Mohammad Dar and Srinagar district president, Peer Mohammad Afaq besides other leaders of the party.
“Mufti ji had promised swift rehabilitation of the flood victims. One year has come to pass and there isn’t any sign of rehabilitation. Is this Mufti Sahib’s swiftness and seriousness? It is highly tragic that flood victims in a lot of areas continue to be without shelter and sources of livelihood while the PDP-BJP Government continues to be in constant denial about their miseries”, he said.
Sagar said the Central Government had shown clear double standards in dealing with the floods that ravaged Kashmir. “In Uttarakhand people received the assistance in the very first month though the floods in that State were comparatively less in severity and destruction. But J&K is yet waiting and suffering the indifference of the Central Government even a year after the floods”, he added.
