JAMMU, Apr 28:- Minister of State for R&B Javed Ahmed Dar today assured the Kashmiri Pandits that Government is committed to solve their problems and many steps were taken in this regard.
Addressing a convention of Kashmiri migrants at Anand Nagar Bohri here today, organized by NC Minority Cell, Mr Dar urged the Pandits to strengthen the Party and hands of Omar Abdullah.
He said Chief Minister is keen that migrants problems should be solved and he recently chaired the Apex Committee meeting of migrants here. “Don’t think that Government is not concerned about your problems. Your issues are discussed in highest foras’’, he added.
He said Pandits in past have also supported the Party and secular forces in the state and it is hoped that they will continue to do the same in future too. He cautioned the people against those forces who are trying to destabilize the Omar Abdullah led Government in the state.
“The communal forces are trying to destabilize the NC led coalition in the state and they tried a hard in 2010 in this regard but their all plans were dashed to ground’’ he said, adding some people are hell bent to destabilize the State Government even today but they will not succeed in their designs.
Mr Dar said expressed the hope that peace will return to the state and the day is not far away when Pandits and Muslims will live in peace as before.
Highlighting the achievements of NC led coalition he said Rs 250 crore were spent on upgradation of roads and Public Services Guarantees Act (PSGA) was also implemented in the state. Many developmental projects are in progress and the Tawi lake in Jammu is one among them, he added.
He lashed out at those who criticize the Government for raising the water and power tariff and alleged that these people are engaged in maligning the image of the coalition for their vested interests.
