JAMMU, June 5: People’s Democratic Party patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said the youth of Jammu and Kashmir have suffered due to anti-people policies of Omar-led Coalition Government in the State.
“Party’s doors were open for all. Our party has grown as a credible voice of the people due to its vision and policies,” Mr Sayeed said while welcoming a senior Congress leader from Kishtwar, Sheikh Nasir Hussain into PDP’s fold at a function here this afternoon.
Mr Sayeed said the people of erstwhile Doda district, especially youth, have suffered due to the anti-people policies of the present dispensation.
“In a short span of time, the previous PDP led Government, had paid a special attention to the backward and hilly areas of erstwhile Doda district and had started massive development activities in the region, which were unfortunately stalled by the present regime,” said the former State Chief Minister.
He said responsibility to steer the State out of morass lies on the youth.
“Joining of large number of people, especially youth, was an indication of PDP’s growing popularity among younger generation of the State,” said Mr Sayeed.
