SRINAGAR, Apr 6: Senior People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Muzzafar Hussain Baig today said the PDP was going to the Parliament with a positive agenda to push for a peaceful settlement of Jammu & Kashmir which is possible only through friendship between India and Pakistan and building of trust deficit between New Delhi and Kashmir.
Addressing party workers in Kupwara segment of Baramulla Parliamentary constituency, Baig said the PDP will forcefully and sincerely voice the concerns of people of J&K, their aspirations and will seek consensus at the national level for the peaceful settlement of the political issue, which has been till now missing as National Conference would use its mandate just to secure jobs for the members of Abdullah family.
He said the NC didn’t act seriously to help bridge gaps between New Delhi and Kashmir, but instead it made power its only choice and went on to keep the country in darkness about the situation in Kashmir.
Baig said PDP is going to the national level to seek consensus on the Kashmir issue and issues of Kashmir and for that it will involve the different shades of opinion both in and outside the Parliament. “The aspirations of people of the State and their issues are priority before the PDP unlike the NC which considers power and luxury for itself as the only reason for holding elections,” said Baig adding had not NC taken people for granted we would not have been suffering this time and we would not have lost many generations to the bad times.
He said PDP’s agenda will help areas like Kupwara to get back into the mainstream after the travel and trade along the Line of Control is expanded in its scope.
The senior party leader, Abdul Haq Khan, MLA and party leaders Gh Mohammad Mir, Fayaz Ahmad Mir, Khrusheed Iqbal and others were also present on the occasion.
