The Member Legislative Council and District President People’s Democratic Party Kishtwar Firdous Tak today slammed opposition parties for raising non-issues to sabotage progressive initiatives taken by the Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayed led state coalition Government.
He asked the people to have faith in the leadership of Mufti Mohammad Sayed and ignore false propaganda unleashed by certain political parties to vent out their frustration after humiliating defeat in all recent elections.
“These parties are in a state of despair as people have rejected them for their misdeeds during last six years” he said adding that the catastrophic defeat of these parties was inevitable due to the fact that their rule was despotic and fraught with corruption and directionless policies. The MLC was addressing workers at a largely attended party convention here today.
“It is ridiculous that these parties are raising fingers on the present coalition forgetting their own regime whaere no one was accountable to any one and it was only corruption and corrupt elements that ruled the roost”
He said that PDP-BJP coalition has the mandate of all the three regions of state and it is well poised to meet the aspirations of the people of every strata of society.
“No coalition is without differences but able leadership and sincerity of cause can do miracles. We have proved this earlier and will prove again”, he said
Tak said that PDP was formed to get the state rid of the political hegemony, which had resulted into nepotism, corruption, chaos and economic bankruptcy. “PDP did not come up just as a political alternate but the last hope of democracy and accountability. The party, under the leadership of its patron Mufti Muhammad Sayed, established a new and transparent system resulting into peace and tranquility. In short span of just three years the party raised the expectations of common masses on democratic system and institutions and created a hope for the masses”, he said adding that unfortunately the system was brought to square one after 2005 and in last three years every achievement made by the Mufti Muhammad Sayed, on political, economic and development front, was reversed again plunging the state into chaos.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
He said that the party formed an alliance with BJP, despite ideological differences, for the sake of common masses as it saw an opportunity to unite the three regions of the state. “The PDP, as a part of new dispensation, is still committed to safeguard the interest of the people at all cost”, he said adding, “Mufti Muhammad Sayed has never compromised the interest of state and its people for power and he will uphold his commitment and make the new dispensation work in a manner that all the regions are benefitted”.
He said that in just five years the state government has taken historic initiatives, particularly in education sector. “Despite the confusion being created by our political opponents, people realize that today the writ of state was visible. The war against corruption has taken practical shape and we are hopeful that all those who loot the public exchequer are shown the door”, the PDP MLC said adding several hundred crores rupees worth projects have been approved in the road sector and the work has started in all the three regions.
The party leaders, including Nazir Ahmed Shah, Ishtiyaq Hussain Waza, Muhammad Ashraf Kichloo, Wasil Doolwal, Ghulam Mohammad Butt, Ghulam Qadir, Jagdish Raj, Majeed Dar, while speaking on the occasion expressed full faith and confidence on the leadership of Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayed and party president Mehbooba Mufti and said that all those who are creating confusion among the masses will get expose. “The NC has always relied and lived on the propaganda but we are hopeful that developmental activities will get pace with improvement in the economic condition of the state”, they said.
