SRINAGAR, Mar 26: Reminding Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti of her tall claims of seeking votes on the basis of report card of the PDP-BJP Government in the past two years, National Conference general secretary Ali Mohammed Sagar today said that for miseries and devastation nothing is discernible on ground.
“As far as people are concerned, they only know how the innocent youth were killed, maimed and blinded besides atrocities inflicted upon them, irrespective of age and gender”, the NC leader said while addressing workers at Eidgah, Zadibal, Sonawar, Batamaloo and Amirakadal.
Among others, provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani, former ministers Mubarak Gul, Mir Saif-ullah and Javed Ahmed Dar also addressed the workers.
Sagar said that unprecedented spree of arrests has been unleashed at large scale and over 15,000 innocent people have been imprisoned within and outside the State to suppress their voice against tyranny. “In desperation, the Government is slapping PSA whosoever comes under their scanner”, he said, adding that the atrocities are going to rebound.
He said that the Government is hilariously taking credit of inaugurating the projects undertaken and completed during the tenure of Omar Abdullah as chief minister.
Provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani referred to the unjustified increase of Rs 500 per quintal of rice being provided to rationees at CAPD outlets, saying that electricity tariff too has been raised notwithstanding that it is quite erratic across the Valley.
Former minister Mubarak Gul exhorted the workers to stand and foil the injustice unitedly. He said National Conference has all along stood against injustice and will do so in future as well.
Sagar and other leaders made a passionate appeal to isolate the communal and divisive dispensation by voting and supporting Dr Farooq Abdullah with a huge margin.
Among others, district president Peer Afaaq Ahmed, political advisor to working president Tanveer Sadiq besides senior leaders Choudhry Mohammed Ramzan, Irfan Ahmed Shah and block presidents of youth and women wings were present on the occasion.
