PULWAMA, May 2: PCC chief and party candidate from Anantnag Lok Sabha seat, GA Mir has said that Tral was a most neglected area of south Kashmir as rising unemployment, mass arrests, lack of development and unnecessary harassment to innocent people has made the lives of people miserable, resulting in deep alienation among the people of this area.
Mir also said that PDP gave nothing to people of Tral except pellets, bullets and mass arrests, which will continue to haunt the people for decades.
Addressing election rally at Dragad Satoora in Tral and Lethpora today Mir appealed the people to show their anger by defeating both PDP, NC in the present elections to put an end to the deception and backstabbing by both PDP NC, who have equally exploited people, from time to time, for votes.
He said no development has taken place in this area rather the developmental process started by UPA- I, UPA-II was derailed merely on political lines and those who got elected never showed any concern for the people of this neglected area. He said Congress is set to form Government at Centre and assured the people of Tral and other neglected areas of South Kashmir that Party will create more and more employment avenues besides starting recruitment drive to curb the unemployment menace, besides ensuring their overall development and other basic amenities required by the people.
History is replete with the betrayal and backstabbing on the part of PDP, NC and BJP, which will continue to remain source behind alienation among the people of Tral, who voted for PDP, but they were responded with unemployment, pellets, mass arrests and unnecessary harassment of innocent people day in and day out, Mir said.
Mir took a jibe at National Conference for doing lip service to people of South Kashmir to garner support, but this time South Kashmir has decided to defeat both PDP NC, which is indicative from the polling in Anantnag and Kulgam district in last two phases, saying that the claims made by NC – PDP was a political drama being staged by them to mislead and exploit people. The people of these districts have rejected the opportunist politics by PDP and NC for their dual standards and political exploitation, Mir added.
He was accompanied by senior Party leaders, Abdul Rashid Dar, Gulzar Wani, Surinder Singh Channi, Hilal Ahmad Shah and Gulam Mohd Mir.
