SRINAGAR : Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said Jammu and Kashmir is poised for a positive turn as the movement for change is gaining ground in every nook and corner of the State.
“This election is not just about development and governance, it is about safeguarding the distinct identity of Jammu and Kashmir and upholding the dignity of its people,” Mr Sayeed said while addressing a series of election rallies at Chassana, Sangaldan, Qazigund, Uri and Kunzer.
The PDP patron said the momentum has already been set for the momentous change in the very first phase of polls as PDP has been able to instill confidence among the people in all the regions of the State about its ability to solve the multiple problems faced by J&K on political, economic, administrative and financial fronts.
He said with a decisive mandate, PDP will carry forward its agenda of political resolution, good governance and employment generation and convert the state into a real welfare State.
Mr Sayeed said the political subversion and uncertainty that the State has faced in the last seven decades has already taken a heavy toll on its polity, economy and human resource and it can ill afford any further disruption.
“Attempts being made currently by some quarters to squeeze the space for its residents will have to be met with maturity, wisdom, collective action and democratic assertion of our rights,” stated Mr Sayeed, adding that the people of the State in general and the youth in particular are looking up towards PDP with great hope and expectations to put up a responsive political structure, productive economic setup and supportive social fabric in place.
“It is with this objective in mind that PDP has come out with a manifesto which enumerates comprehensive agenda to safeguard the State’s special constitutional position and identity, lays out a futuristic economic and developmental agenda and gives a vision that is politically unifying and economically inclusive,” he said he added that the party would with fresh resolve strive towards accomplishing the unfinished agenda of resolution and development set off in 2002.
