SRINAGAR: Opposition National Conference legislators today boycotted the “smart city challenge” meeting convened by Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti here, terming it as a “gimmick”.
National Conference legislators Ali Mohammad Sagar, Mubarak Gul, Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, Shameema Firdous and Sheikh Ishfaq Jabbar boycotted the meeting which was held at SKICC with the Chief Minister in the chair, a statement issued by the party said.
“The Chief Minister should acknowledge the gravity of the situation in Kashmir and stop persecuting and repressing people while living in a fool’s paradise thinking that such gimmicks will divert the focus from her utter and complete failure,” the legislators said in a joint statement.
“There is absolutely no clarity on the Smart City prospects for Srinagar and seminars and presentations cannot absolve the PDP-BJP Government of their responsibility to actually deliver on their promises including the broken promise of getting both Srinagar and Jammu included in the Smart Cities list,” they said.
