NC supports strike call on Sept 7

Excelsior Correspondent
Srinagar, Sept 3: National Conference has supported the call for a complete shutdown and strike call on the September 7, given by various Traders’ Associations, non-political organizations and flood victims.
“We support the strike call given by various Trade bodies, civil society groups and flood victims to commemorate the one year anniversary of the devastating floods that hit Kashmir in September. One year has come to pass and the PDP-BJP Government has refused to show the minimum political will to rehablitate and compensate the flood victims. We support the call for Hartal on the 7th as a mark of protest against the Mufti Govt’s criminal indifference towards the flood victims”, NC Provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani said in a statement issued today.
Mr Wani said the PDP-BJP Government had intentionally sabotaged the 44,000 crore flood relief package as the State’s Finance Minister had opposed the package on the floor of the Legislative Assembly giving the Central Government an excuse to trivialize the misery and sufferings of the flood victims. Mufi Government deliberately sabotaged the Flood Relief Package, he alleged.
