Srinagar, Feb 16: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti today accused the Government of harassing the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Mehbooba told reporters in Kupwara during her visit that for the first time she has seen a Government that is transforming poor’s homes into schools, hospitals and parks.
“They are demolishing the houses of the poor. For the first time, I have seen such a government that says that they will convert poor’s houses into a school, hospitals and parks. Have you seen this happening anywhere in the world that Government demolishes houses of people to construct hospitals,” she added.
The PDP president asked the government to provide infrastructure to already existing hospitals before constructing new ones by demolishing homes of poor.
“Are there doctors in the hospitals in villages, is there any other infrastructure? First provide doctors and infrastructure to the existing hospitals and then construct new hospitals,” she suggested.
She said that the government should stop harassing the poor people in J&K.
“They have a lot of land and lakhs of kanals of land are with security forces. The BJP claims that the security situation has improved in J&K, then some forces must move out and the land be used for constructing hospitals and schools. Why are they harassing the poor,” he asked.
“The Government is just harassing the people of J&K to suppress them. They want that Kashmiris should forget Kashmir issue and stand in queue for 5 kg ration. For this Kashmir issue our graveyards have been filled, our women have been widowed and children orphaned”, she said.
She said that the BJP government at centre had made only fake promises.
“The said that if the BJP will come to power at Centre then they will deposit Rs 15 lakh in the accounts of poor and will provide 2 crore jobs annually. What they did, they snatched jobs from the people and they gave people’s money to Adani. They themselves say that they say “Jumla” their words should not be taken seriously,” she said.
