KISHTWAR, May 5: Asserting that PDP was pursuing agenda of peace and prosperity, Member Legislative Council (MLC), Firdous Tak, today said that J&K under the present dispensation headed by Mehbooba Mufti is witnessing new era of transparency and accountability.
“The writ of State is visible and people are feeling a change on the ground due to the sincere efforts of our Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti”, Tak said while addressing office bearers of party’s district unit for Kishtwar. He said that PDP is pursuing agenda of prosperity, development and economic upliftment and working on the path shown by its patron and late Chief Minister Mufti Mohd Sayeed to transform the State into island of peace.
He said that in just around one month the present dispensation has transformed public delivery system and brought accountability and transparency in the system. “The lack of accountability and transparency, loot of public exchequer, favouritism, corruption and nepotism were prime reasons for the political turmoil in the State”, he said adding, despite ruling the State for more than half a century, National Conference plunged the State into chaos and confusion by resorting to unfair means in every sphere of life.
The PDP MLC said that Government has laid special focus on the upgrading basic infrastructure in the rural and far off areas and several measures were in pipeline. He said that the recent decision of the State Government to establish Saffron village in Kishtwar has brought respite for the saffron growers.
Referring to the growing unemployment across the State, especially in Chenab Valley, Tak urged the State Government to ensure early start of work on Pakal Dool, Kero, Kwar and Rattle power projects so as to deal with the problem.
The legislator reviewed the ongoing membership drive by the party and expressed satisfaction over the way the party workers were reaching to the people not only to strengthen its base but also to spread the message of the organization.
District president, Sheikh Nasir Hussain, senior vice president, Nazir Ahmed Shah and district general secretary, Ishtiyaq Hussain Waza also spoke on the occasion.
