SRINAGAR, Apr 24 : PDP president MS Mehbooba Mufti stressed upon the youth to be part of the emerging movement for change .
Addressing members of Deh committees and workers of Shopian Constituency , she said the time has come for the people of the State to fight with all might to get free from the exploitive and atrocious rule of National Conference. On this occasion MLA Shopian Ab Razaq Zawoora, district President Mohd Shafi Bandey, Zaffar Manhas, Gh Mohiudin Wani, Mohd Ayub Malik and others were also present and spoke to the gathering.
Mehbooba said people can use their democratic rights to the best of their advantage as was experienced by the state during PDP -Cong regime. Any democracy is incomplete unless their is an alternative and PDP has not only filled that space but has proved to be a better alternative to the traditional ruling class in the State.
She reminded people that PDP had become a necessity to fight the brutalities inflicted by NC with a brute 2/3rd majority between 1996 to 2000.
Mehbooba said it was the moral courage of a leader like Mufti Mohmmed Sayeed who brought in a sense of security within no time and used the available Government machinery to the best advantage of people. Today once again people of the state are facing worst kind of situation with lawlessness on one hand and mis governance and corruption on the other.
She said this Government has become a symbol of death, destruction and darkness with mafia ruling the roost including drug mafia, politico-contractor mafia, corporate mafia, crime mafia to name a few. Only God knows how many innocents would have lost their lives by consuming the spurious drugs brought into the state by this Government she said.
Mehbooba said hardly a day passes without a new corruption case getting exposed. There seems to be no accountability as the Chief Minister lost his moral authority to govern and hold his cabinet accountable the same day when Haji Yousuf was allegedly tortured at CM’s official residence resulting in his subsequent death.
