NC dismisses PDP chief’s remarks

Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, Dec 21: The chief spokesperson of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, Tanvir Sadiq today dismissed PDP president Mehbooba Mufti’s comments regarding the cancellation of ration cards as unfounded and a desperate ploy to stay in the spotlight.
Tanvir made it clear that such baseless accusations have no place in the realm of politics and called out Mehbooba Mufti for her failed attempt to stir up controversy. “It seems she is trying a little too hard to make headlines, but people see right through it. Infact, PDP rushed to implement the Food Security Act to appease the BJP,” he claimed.
Under PDP ration quota was slashed from 35 kg to just 5 kg. The PDP-BJP government not only deprived people of basic rations but also symbolized arrogance and oppression. Who can forget her “milk and toffee” remark-an emblem of her iron-fist policy against Kashmiris?” he said.
Her dictatorial and arrogant behavior hasn’t been forgotten, he said adding,”This is a people’s government, and every decision we make will ensure justice for the people of J&K,” he added.
Tanvir emphasized that Omar Abdullah government will fulfill all promises outlined in its manifesto, including providing free 200 units of electricity and an enhanced ration quota.
