Jammu, Oct 30: Observing that mis-governance and trust deficit are the main reasons of growing alienation among people, patron of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said that five year achievement of National Conference led Government is a big zero because this dispensation has failed on all fronts.
“Encouraging corruption, supporting nepotism and abusing State apparatus to deprive people of their democratic rights are only noticeable achievements of the present dispensation”, Mufti said and regretted that present regime has miserably failed to carry forward the process of peace and reconciliation which was initiated by the previous PDP-Congress Government in the State.
Addressing party meeting to welcome Dr Harmesh Singh Slathia of Vijaypur, who along with his supporters joined PDP here today, Mufti said that with just 16 MLAs in its kitty, PDP had changed political discourse of the State and also restored dignity and honour of the people by pursuing the pro-peace agenda.
“The process of reconciliation is still incomplete because the present regime during the last five years has failed to connect itself with the common masses”, he said and added that alienation among people have been increasing with every passing day due to widening of the gap between the commoners and ruling elites.
Mufti said that after 2008 Assembly elections it is only the PDP which has been pursuing agenda for establishing lasting peace and tranquility. “It is result of the convictions and vision of our party that PDP has earned credibility and trust of the people of Jammu and Kashmir”, he said, adding, “successfully connecting with people in the biggest achievements of PDP”.
Highlighting achievements of the previous PDP-Congress regime, he said, “Our party had convinced successive Governments at Delhi, through our convictions, to initiate some bold Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) to restore lasting peace in this region”.
He mentioned that PDP had entered into alliance with Congress by formulating a Common Minimum Programme (CMP) in which wishes of all people were incorporated and pro-peace agenda was given first priority.
“Our party has not only restored peace in the State but also laid strong foundation for accelerating developmental activities in all regions and sub-regions”, he said and reminded that it was only during the regime of PDP that equal treatment was given to all regions of the State.
