SRINAGAR, Dec 27: To assess the party’s performance and take stock of its activities, a high-level meeting of Peoples Democratic Party’s senior leadership of south Kashmir was held today at Anantnag and attended by former Ministers, Legislators, and senior leaders.
The meeting was chaired by PDP vice president Abdul Rahman Veeri, who in his address, asked the leaders to focus on their respective constituencies and remain connected with people, party activists, and workers on the ground.
“The PDP is the only party which has been keeping all the three regions of Jammu and Kashmir intact and united while prioritizing for the equitable growth and fulfillment of the regional aspirations all across,” he said.
Veeri added that the PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has been treading the same path which was shown to the people by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and the party will scan new horizons under her able leadership
Asserting that the main aim and objective of the PDP is to guarantee peace and stability in the State, Veeri said that the party’s earnest efforts in making the Jammu and Kashmir a hub of peace and tranquility could be gauged by the fact that on all fronts, the PDP Government in the State empowered youth and was successful in withdrawing more than twelve thousand FIRs registered against the youngsters. “The party accorded a dignified life to these youth who were bundled in jails and PDP gave them a reason to put their lives back on track and prosper. The fact is that PDP is the only platform that gave voice to the people by providing the only viable and credible alternative to the people of Jammu & Kashmir,” he said.
The leaders present in the meeting also resolved to make PDP vibrant force in the State once again and democratize its mission so that Kashmir could be saved from the present apocalyptic situation.
The PDP leaders, who were present in the meeting, include Mansoor Hussain Soharwardy, Parliament member Nazir Ahmad Laway, Abdul Gaffar Sofi, Rafi Ahmad Mir, Mohammad Khalil Bandh, Zahoor Ahmad Mir, Aijaz Ahmad Mir, Mohammad Yousuf Bhat, Syed Farooq Andrabi, Mushtaq Ahmad Shah, Abdul Rahim Rather, Abdul Majeed Padder and others.
