NC betrays youth: Mir

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Dec 27: Apni Party’s senior vice president, Ghulam Hassan Mir has accused the Government that it has betrayed the unemployed youth of Jammu and Kashmir by not doing anything tangible to create employment opportunities.
He said that the failure of the Government has given an unprecedented surge to unemployment in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a party meeting at Jammu today, the former minister impressed upon the leaders that they should intensify the public outreach programs, and highlight the issues confronted by the people as the National Conference has disappointed the people of both the regions after forming the Government in Jammu and Kashmir.
He pointed out how the politics of hate, regionalism, and communalism was promoted in Jammu as well as Kashmir regions putting the regional harmony among the communities to the stake.
“The peace that existed in Jammu and Kashmir for centuries was risked with the communal and regional hate politics by the parties, including National Conference to gain votes, and return to the power,” he said, asking the party leaders to work for the public welfare and strengthening of the roots of communal harmony in Jammu and Kashmir among the communities.
He stated that the Apni Party stands for unity, equality, communal harmony and development for all the people of Jammu and Kashmir without biased approach.
The NC had promised one lakh employment to the educated youth of J&K in the first six months of the government formation. However, the things are opposite.
As far as reservation issue is concerned, he said that the Govt has totally failed to revisit the reservation policy which is against the merit policy and injustice with the people.
Manjit Singh, provincial president also spoke on the occasion and informed about the political activities, and strengthening of organizational structure in Jammu Region.
