Srinagar, May 1: Former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil expressed anguish over the announcement of J&K State’s inclusion in NEET and said that this move is not in favour of the State especially the youth and it seems to be another move of indirect fiddle with Article 370.
He said that the move was a well planned attempt to dilute the special status of the State which will be sternly dealt by the people of the State. People of the State are well aware of the intentions of the central Government headed by BJP in this regard but no stone will be left unturned in defending the Article 370.
Vakil also criticized the Government’s delayed response to the issue and said that Government should have pre-empted the situation. He stressed upon the Government to come clear on the issue. Vakil was addressing the workers convention at Rafiabad today.
Vakil expressed grave concern over neglect of fruit industry in Kashmir valley. He said every Government has failed to address the concerns of fruit growers. Fruit growers have always been left high and dry and said that every Government has till date failed to launch a result oriented programme for the development of the Fruit Industry. He urged the Chief Minister to take immediate steps to save this vital industry which provides livelihood to lakhs of people directly or indirectly.
Besides others who addressed the convention include Senior leaders G.M Dar retd. SSP, Ghulam Nabi Shah, Haji Mohammad Afzal Khan, Bashir Ahmad Shekh (Reban), Irshad Ahmad Irshad, Zahoor Ahmad Wani etc.
