Addressing an impressive function here this evening in support of party candidate Daman Bhasin, who is contesting from Jammu West Assembly segment, Mufti said that PDP is a cementing force to unite all regions and sub-regions of the State. “Attaining power is not the ultimate goal of PDP, we want to play a historic role to change destiny of the people of J&K by setting up a new system where every individual would get equal opportunity of growth and development”, he said and added that PDP, unlike other political parties, has never indulged into double speak to hoodwink the people for petty political gains.
“Earning faith and trust of the people of J&K is the biggest achievement of PDP”, he said and added that PDP leadership, through it conviction and commitment, has earned credibility of the common masses.
Mufti said that PDP during its tenure had proved how to deliver good governance and how to establish transparency and accountability in the governance. “I don’t want to praise myself but people of the State now comparing our achievements with the decades long mis-governance of successive National Conference regimes”, he said and added that PDP-Congress regime in the State had established a system of governance which earned faith and acceptability of the common masses.
“PDP during its tenure had not only created a sense of security among the people but also restored dignity of the common masses by pioneering and implementing peace and reconciliation policies”, he said.
He said that PDP had scripted a new chapter of peace and development in Jammu and Kashmir and changed political discourse of the State through its visionary and pro-peace policies.
Reiterating his resolve to remove regional disparities, Mufti said his Government had set an example of equitable and balanced development in Jammu and Kashmir. “Credit goes to the PDP-Congress regime that first time after 1947, all regions were treated equally in developmental and other activities”, he maintained and added that it was after 2002 that successfully efforts were made to empower all regions to remove the sense of inequality and discrimination.
Speaking on the occasion, PDP leader and party candidate for Rajpora segment, Dr Haseeb Drabu emphasised on the need of formulating separate development visions for different regions. “Every region has its own potential so there is a need to formulate vision document keeping in view the need of that particular region”, Drabu said and observed that Jammu region has huge scope of investment so there was a need to formulate a comprehensive vision document for this region to attract investment. “Jammu region has potential to be self-sufficient in every sphere of life”, he said.
