SRINAGAR, Apr 6: Maintaining that the Government has ushered an era of peace, progress and development in the State, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayats and senior National Conference (NC) leader, Ali Mohammad Sagar, today said that PDP in a state of despair and desperation is trying to mislead the people by spreading false propaganda for its ulterior political motives.
Addressing a series of public rallies and road shows in Pulwama district, Sagar said that growing popularity of the present coalition has induced a sense of desperation and frustration in the cadres of PDP, which has triggered a panic reaction in them and they have started spreading lies and false propaganda.
But it is of no use, as the people of the State are wise enough to understand their mechanizations and would give befitting reply to them, which will serve as a lesson to these forces of chaos and confusion, he added.
Sagar further maintained that the NC has always projected and safeguarded the interests of the State and its people without caring for political gains.
“It is a recorded history that when it comes to the State, NC has rendered innumerable sacrifices and people are well aware of it and the measures taken for the socio-economic upliftment and decentralization of powers to the grass root level”, he added.
Recalling history, Sagar said that the people of the Valley are well aware of the fact that the patron of the PDP was instrumental in ensuring the extension of certain Acts to the State, which inflicted miseries and hardships on the masses.
