NEW DELHI: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today said her state needs special care and attention as people there are still nursing “old wounds inflicted by misfortune and tragedy” as she sought support and cooperation to tide over the challenges in bringing it back on the path of development.
As a Chief Minister, Mehbooba said, her prime objective will be to restore the balance and put Jammu and Kashmir firmly on the path of development.
“I will leave no stone unturned in bringing back smiles on the faces of the people of the state,” she said at the annual Joint Conference of Chief Ministers of the States and Chief Justices of the High Courts, at Vigyan Bhawan, here.
The conference was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and attended among others by Chief Justice of India Justice T S Thakur and Union Law Minister Sadananda Gowda.
Mehbooba said years of political strife in J-K has resulted in huge loss of life and property and setback to the development process.
The Government, along with other mainstream political parties is trying to fight the ideological battle politically, administratively and legally, she said. (AGENCIES)
