Excelsior Correspondent
ARNAS/DHARMARI, Nov 7: Reiterating resolve of his party to address aspirations of all regions and sub-regions of the State, patron of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said that PDP would empower every sections of the society to ensure equal opportunity of growth and upliftment to every citizen of Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that PDP believes in the policy of inclusive growth and balanced development so as to ensure that every region would get equal opportunity of development.
Addressing impressive public meetings at Arnas and Dharmari to kick-start election campaign in Reasi district in support of party candidates Imtiyaz Shan and Shafiq- ur- Rehman, Mufti said that backwardness of this belt reflects that elected representatives have miserably failed to perform their duties. Imtiyaz Shah is PDP candidate for Gool-Arnas seat and Shafiq-ur-Rehman for Gulabgarh segment.
During the rally at Arnas, senior BJP leader Kabla Singh also joined PDP along with hundreds of his supporters in presence of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
Welcoming Kabla Singh into the party fold, PDP patron said that joining of BJP leader in the party was a clear indication that PDP was emerging as trusted and credible voice of people of J&K, irrespective of their caste, creed, colour or religion.
“Reasi district is the most backward and neglected area of J&K so it is high time for the residents of this belt to launch a joint fight for basic amenities like health, education, road network etc”, he exhorted the people, adding, “members of both majority and minority communities should have to join hands to launch a joint struggle to create employment opportunities for the unemployed youth of this neglected belt”.
Mufti assured people that members of both majority and minority would be equally empowered, if PDP voted to power. “During our tenure of just three years from 2002 to 2005, we had proved how to treat all people equally”, he said and assured that wishes and aspirations of all sections of the society would be incorporated in the Election Manifesto of PDP which would be released very soon.
“Unlike other political parties PDP does not believe in double speak. Whether we are in power or in Opposition, we never compromised with our agenda”, Mufti said and added that biggest achievement of PDP was that it has earned credibility of the people of whole Jammu and Kashmir.
“PDP has earned the credibility of the people through its convictions and commitments”, Mufti said and added that agenda of his party is to fulfil wishes and aspirations of all sections of the society. He promised PDP, in its vision document, will accommodate aspirations of all regions and sub-regions of the State. “It is my desire to remove trust deficit among different regions of the State”, he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Vikramaditya Singh called upon the people to support PDP candidates to ensure equitable growth and development in all regions and sub-regions of the State. He also expressed his anguish over backwardness of Reasi belt and regretted that except promises nothing has been done for the socio-economic growth of this region.
