JAMMU, Dec 20: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti has said employment generation for youth will be the main focus of her party’s economic goals if it gets a decisive mandate from the people in the coming elections. Addressing a public meeting at Lam in Nowshera constituency of Rajouri district, she said the youth of J&K can rewrite a new destiny for themselves and for the State, if they are involved fully in the system and given due opportunities where they can excel and bring about a perceptible change on the ground. But, she said, the youth of the State have been, unfortunately, pushed to the wall and denied space in the political, economic and social spheres over the last more than 60 years. Senior PDP leader and MLC Yashpal Sharma, MLA Ch Zulfikar Ali, Surinder Chaudhary, Assadudin Bari, Nanak Chand, Capt Yograaj, Subedar Surjeet Kuamr, Beeta Devi Panch and others were present on this occasion. Mehbooba said without involving the youth in the governance system, the situation could not get back on tracks and to do so there is need of strong political will, seriousness of the leadership, and courage to deliver. The PDP president said it was the reason, PDP, with the support of people, during its brief stint in the Government, realized an accountable, honest and transparent system, which ensured a fair deal for every stakeholder. “We carry forward our unfinished agenda of political resolution and economic empowerment of the people. The recruitment processes will be made transparent and the deserving, hardworking people will get their chance, in our future scheme of things,” she said adding PDP will establish environment friendly industries to generate dignified and meaningful employment chances for the youth. Calling for a change in the system, she said it now the responsibility of the people to make things better for themselves.
