Srinagar, May 17: Expressing dismay over the rhetoric over youth unrest in Valley , Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) general secretary Nizamudin Bhat said that a vested interest from among mainstream politicians are working with a design to create an atmosphere of insecurity and instability in the State.
Bhat said this class of populist politicians has eversince thrived on uncertainity and many among them have during their rule adopted an authoritarian and repressive approach towards people in general and youth in particular. He said the present turbulence in some areas and institutions is fall out of and direct outcome of their misgovernance, emotional exploitation and politics of blackmail. They have overnight transformed into self styled Massiah’s which is hypocritical.
Bhat said it is ironical that those who have wounded democracy, intimidated and stagnated generations here are now hellbent to create a chaos and spread canard. It would have been proper that they avoid talking high about rule of law and functioning of democracy without making self appraisal
“Who doesn’t know the climate of melancholy and sorrow is an unpleasant political and cultural baggage of this class of contemporary politicians. They have ruled the State for decades and gave nothing but miseries”, Bhat said adding the psychological turbulence in the soul of Kashmiri youth cannot end till this exploitative class changes for better.
Bhat said it is saddening that while sons and daughters of soil are critical in their expression and academics is facing danger to loose relevance, society as a whole fails to see the impending peril. We cannot afford such a situation to prolong.
“We have to understand , digest and analyse the phenomena without indulging in blame games”, Bhat said and called for a common ground through open dialogue between the people of all shades who have a stake in our tradition and splinded history of peace and brotherhood.
