Rafiabad Mar 15 (KNS) : J&K Peoples Conference senior Vice President and former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil today said that the successive NC and PDP governments failed to represent the aspirations of the people of J&K and worked against their interests for the sake of securing power. 

 

Vakil while touring Patusa, Panzla, Pakhwara, Kangroosa, Taqiya and Doabgah areas of Rafiabad also regretted the failure of previous governments to promote tourism in Rafiabad despite countless promises made by both parties. He maintained that if PC comes to power, Rafiabad will be developed as a thriving tourist destination which will immensely benefit the inhabitants of the area.

 

"NC is the first party from J&K to ally with the BJP  in lieu of making Omar Abdullah the junior foreign minister in the BJP government. They compromised the interests of the people of J&K for their personal interests. They even expelled Prof Saif-ud-din Soz for voting against the BJP.", he said 

 

He further highlighted PDP's role in helping the BJP to strengthen its base in Jammu & Kashmir and become part of the government for the first time in the history of J&K. 

 

"The people of Kashmir will never forgive the leadership of NC and PDP for trampling upon the interest of the people of Kashmir to satiate their lust for power", he added.

 

Vakil said that the NC & PDP are eager to form an alliance in order to grab power- their only goal. "Their statements make it clear that their only goal is to achieve power by allying with anybody to secure their personal interests. They can no longer mislead the people of J&K. There is a strong desire among the people for change of leadership and vision in J&K. The people are putting a lot of faith and in the leadership and vision of the Peoples Conference to emerge as the strongest voice for the people of Kashmir", he added.(KNS)
