SRINAGAR, Oct 14: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) today lashed out at the Omar Abdullah Government for being insensitive and indifferent towards the problems of the food sufferers and said the way loot, embezzlement of even relief materials is going on at the hands of the ruling party politicians is enough to suggest about their shameless mindset, dishonesty and extreme selfishness.
“After having badly damaged the whole system during last six years and now miserably failing to respond to the tragedy the ruling party politicians are not still coming out of their age old practices of loot and dirty methods to cash in on the sufferings of the people that too after drowning them,” the party chief spokesperson, Naeem Akhtar said while interacting with the party workers in Gogaldara, Baderkoot, Kolhama and Tomberhama in Tangmarg area of North Kashmir.
He alleged that with a view on the forthcoming elections, the Government is also making backdoor appointments and transfers of their blue-eyed officials particularly at village levels. Even some ruling party leaders are now seeking “probe” into appointments made in various departments by their own Government, owing to widespread corruption, he added.
The PDP leader alleged that hundreds of truck loads of rice are missing from the godowns of Kashmir and the officers who are known supporters of the National Conference have been found involved in the rice embezzlement.
Naeem said the Government, which left people on the mercy of God during the deluge, is still unmoved with the sufferings of the flood victims, which is highly unfortunate and disgusting.
Mohammad Abbas Wani, PDP candidate for Gulmarg, Prof Abdul Jabbar, Abdul Aziz Dar and other leaders were also present on the occasion.
