RAMBAN, Apr 15: Describing the so-called Mufti Mohammad Sayeed Food Entitlement Scheme as a desperate cover-up to the ill-conceived implementation of anti-people National Food Security Act, National Conference (NC) said the PDP-BJP Government has completely lost its direction and grit to governance.
“One after another, the vision-less Government is inflicting miseries upon the people in terms of services and development”, District President NC Sajjad Shaheen said while addressing a massive rally held in protest against the Food Entitlement Scheme at Ramsu in Banihal Assembly Constituency.
He said the poor rationees are suffering, especially in remote and backward areas, as the quantity being provided is not only little but unavailable at most of the sale outlets.
He sought immediate rollback of the Act, saying this has not served any purpose.
Shaheen also referred to the various other issues confronted to the people, especially on account of development and said the administrative inertia has hampered the process launched and sustained during NC-led-Government. He termed the first spell of PDP-BJP Government as a failure and said the second tenure has also started on a bad note with life coming to standstill in the Kashmir Valley due to most disturbing situation.
The protest rally was addressed by senior district functionaries who sought immediate reversal of the NFSA. They sought provision of rations on the earlier scales immediately, as per wishes of the people.
