SRINAGAR, Mar 22: Minister for Rural Development and Panchayati Raj and a senior leader of NC, Ali Mohammad Sagar today said that the Government has ensured holistic development of the State besides, ensuring that the people are economically as well as politically emancipated but PDP in a state of desperation and frustration is trying to hoodwink the people by spreading lies and false propaganda for their petty political interests.
The Minister was addressing public rally in the old city area of Khawaja Bazaar as a part of people to people contact programme. The largely attended rally was also attended by prominent persons of the area.
Mr Sagar said that the Government has ushered in an era of peace and development in the State, which has induced a sense of fear in the minds of the Opposition party which is now resorting to political gimmicks to further their ulterior motives. He said that PDP has always believed in deceit and deception and have always preferred their interests over those of the State.
Referring to the steps initiated by the Government for withdrawal of AFSPA, Sagar said that considerable progress has been achieved in this regard. He said that PDP is trying to mislead the people of the State by saying that they also worked for it but a senior leader of the Party has said that they have never ever written to the Centre for its withdrawal in a recent interview.
Taking a dig on the recent statement of PDP regarding resolution of K-issue, Sagar said that National Conference has always advocated for the peaceful resolution of the K-issue and have been honest in this regard and people are well aware of the stand of NC whereas PDP always believe in lip service. He said that they don’t utter a single word in the Parliament when they were given a chance while as National Conference made its stand crystal clear.
