SRINAGAR, Aug 21: The Jammu & Kashmir National Conference General Secretary, Ali Muhammad Sagar today alleged that the Government has failed to address the political and developmental aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
He lamented the incumbent government for plunging the people of J&K into an unfathomable abyss of misery and despondency.
While interacting with the party workers, NC leader said that the lack of representative character of the incumbent dispensation has compounded miseries of people of J&K.
He said the BJP Government rather than engaging with aggrieved people with an aim to address their issues has chosen to tread the path of isolating them and denying them the fruits of democracy, enjoyed by their co-countrymen in the other regions of the country.
“Disenchantment among the people has reached an epic level, so has the anti-incumbency against this present unrelated & undemocratic regime,” he said and exhorted the party cadre to remain present among the people and make them aware of the key achievements of the successive popular governments led by Sheikh, Dr. Farooq and Omar.
Pointing towards the increasing gulf between the administration and the people, Sagar said, “Having public representatives in the policy-making bodies makes the policies more attuned to the concerns of the public. In J&K it’s the other way round, the locals have no say in the administration making it deaf to all their concerns.”
Among others, who attended the meeting included Dr. Sheikh Mustafa Kamal, Nasir Aslam Wani, MP Anantnag Mian Altaf Ahmad and Imran Nabi Dar.
