BUDGAM, Apr 24: Urging the youth to spearhead the movement for change, senior PDP leader and former Finance Minister, Tariq Hameed Karra today said the State’s young population has become the biggest victim of the tyrannical policies of the Omar Abdullah-led Government.
“Besides getting victimized collectively by the repressive policies of the present Government, the State’s youth are being subjected to economic subjugation by depriving them the opportunities of employment and other income-generating avenues,” Karra said while addressing a series of election rallies in Budgam Assembly segment of Srinagar-Budgam Parliamentary constituency.
He said by corrupting various institutions including BOPEE and recruiting agencies, the present Government has pushed the youth into a perpetual state of despair and uncertainty. As a part of its well-designed ploy to impose economic subjugation on the people, the present regime is operationalizing all the devious means to push Kashmiris into perpetual political enslavement, he added.
Accusing NC leaders of orchestrating violence to enforce poll boycott as a last resort for their survival, Karra said, “As NC has realized that having lost the public support, its survival is now solely dependent on continuing conflict and uncertainty in J&K, the party is overtly and covertly playing all the dirty tricks to carry on with the blood-letting of innocent Kashmiris,” he said.
The State’s ruling political elite is preoccupied with enjoying the luxuries of power while the Aam Aadmi is being subjected to all kinds of cruelties and miseries, Karra alleged, adding the people are fed up with the insensitivity of this self-centered regime and would respond appropriately to this feeling of utter neglect in the ongoing polls.
PDP leaders Moulvi Imran Ansari, Saif-ud-Din Bhat and Muntazir Mohi-ud-Din also addressed the rallies.
