JAMMU, Oct 19: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) today asked the Government to take effective steps to protect lives and properties of civilians living along the border areas.
Addressing series of pubic meetings in border constituencies of Bishnah and Suchetgarh, PDP candidate for Jammu-Poonch Lok Sabha seat Yash Pal Sharma regretted that present regime in the State has failed to carry the agenda of peace and development in the State.
He said that Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, as Chief Minister of the State, had convinced both India and Pakistan to take peace initiatives which ultimately led to the total peace on borders.
Lambasting Omar Abdullah led coalition regime for its failure to solve problems of the common masses, he said that this regime has failed to bring transparency and accountability in the governance. He observed that legalizing corruption and nepotism was the only noticeable achievement of the three year tenure of regime headed by National Conference.
He regretted that instead of addressing woes of the common people this regime was more particular about befooling the people by one or other way.
He said that Government was neck deep in corruption from top to bottom and leaders of the ruling party have been brazenly indulged in accumulating huge wealth by misusing their position. He further regretted that common masses in the State have been struggling with number of problems but the members of the ruling coalition have been using State resources for their personal comforts.
Speaking on the occasion, former Rajya Sabha member Trilok Singh Bajwa asked the Government to provide immediate relief to the families affected by the border firing. He further asked the Government to ensure safety of the people living near the border.
General secretary of the party, Ved Mahajan, Deepinder Kour, Bhushan Dogra and Choudhary Chuni Lal also spoke on the occasion.
