SRINAGAR: Urging the youth to lead the movement for change in 2014 general elections, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti today alleged that people have suffered immensely under the present dispensation.
“The coalition government in the state has become a symbol of repression, political chaos, misgovernance, rampant corruption, administrative anarchy and denial of justice,” she alleged.
Addressing a PDP workers convention, organised in to connection the party’s Foundation Day celebrations, at Ganderbal, Ms Mehbooba said “I foresee the State’s people in general and the youth in particular leading the movement for change in Jammu and Kashmir during 2014 political battles to take the functionaries of the present dispensation to task not only for their actions but inaction as well.”
Terming the present dispensation as the biggest misfortune for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, Ms Mehbooba said “The present government has only brought political chaos, rampant corruption, administrative anarchy and denial of human rights to the state without making any positive contribution on political or developmental fronts.”
Referring to the path-breaking political and developmental initiatives especially the connectivity plan that the PDP led government had launched to connect different regions Ms Mehbooba said, unfortunately, nothing was done by the present dispensation to carry forward those momentous initiatives.
While on political front a constructive dialogue process was started by the then NDA government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee both with Pakistan and Hurriyat Conference (HC) to address the external and internal dimensions of the Kashmir issue.
