SRINAGAR, May 9: The Chief Minister’s Political Secretary Tanvir Sadiq today hit at PDP president Mehbooba Mufti calling her statement on Doda earthquake as an epitome of skullduggery.
“This has become PDP’s and her trait to always play politics on people’s misfortune just to score brownie points” said Tanvir in a statement issued here today.
He alleged that Mehbooba’s ridiculous statement has proven beyond doubt that her visit to the earthquake affected areas was just to play politics and not sincerely to share the pain and grief of the people affected by the natural disaster.
Reminding Mehbooba of 2005 when earth quake struck Kashmir, Mr Tanvir said it was National Conference which came in front and truck loads of blankets and essentials were sent to the affected areas while the then Government headed by Mufti Mohd Sayeed was sleeping and dreaming of an extension in their term. “On the contrary as soon as the earthquake struck Kishtwar and adjoining areas recently the whole administration was geared up to provide immediate relief,” he said.
“Rupees 25 crores were sanctioned immediately for relief and rehabilitation and ministers were stationed in Bhaderwah, Kishtwar and Doda while 3- month free ration was also sanctioned along with blankets, tents and other material to ensure that people don’t face any problem,” the NC leader said.
