Poonch, Feb 09 (KNS): Youth National Conference Provincial President Jammu Ajaz Jan on Saturday highlighted the importance of divisional status to Pir Panchal and the Chenab Valley regions and hailed the statement of Omar Abdullah in this regard.
Addressing a public meeting at Mandi in Poonch Assembly Constituency, Jan said that National Conference has remained at forefront in taking the administration to door-steps of the people in order to assuage their urges and aspiration.
Jan referred to the under-development of Poonch during the misrule of PDP and the BJP saying the people of the area will give the two parties befitting reply through their power of votes in the ensuing elections. He said the insensitive coalition failed on all fronts, be that development or implementation of various welfare schemes. He said the discredited and rejected alliance had no policy for youth in particular.
Referring to various local issues raised during the meeting, Jan assured that these will be taken up with all concerned for early redressal. The issues pertained to scarce rations, dilapidated condition of roads, erratic power and drinking water supply besides poor health care facilities.
He assailed the divisive and hate politics of the BJP saying this is detrimental to the harmonious growth of society and time tested inclusive traditions of the State. He hoped that the people of the state will isolate polarizing forces in the ensuing elections.
On the occasion, a large number of youth and prominent workers of the PDP, BJP and Congress from Atoli, Sorari, Mandi joined National Conference.
