South Kashmir has decided to defeat NC, PDP: G A Mir
Says Tral ‘best example of PDP’s betrayal in South Kashmir’
Tral: J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President G A Mir has said that history was “replete with the betrayal and backstabbing on the part of PDP, NC & BJP”, which, he said, will continue to remain source of alienation among the people of south Kashmir.
Mir was addressing a public meeting at Dragad, Satoora in Pulwama’s Tral area ahead of the final phase of voting on the Anantnag parliamentary seat.
Mir alleged PDP had responded the mandate given to it by the south Kashmir area “with unemployment, pellets, mass arrests and unnecessary harassment of innocent people day in and day out”.
He also took a jibe at National Conference for “doing lip service to people of South Kashmir to garner support”.
South Kashmir, he said, “has decided to defeat both PDP and NC, which is indicative from the polling in Anantnag and Kulgam districts in last two phases”.
Mir said that Tral was the “most neglected area of south Kashmir facing rising unemployment, mass arrests and lack of development”.
He said that the “unnecessary harassment of innocent people” in the area “has made the lives of people miserable, resulting in deep alienation among the people of this area”.
PDP, he alleged had given “nothing to people of Tral except pellets, bullets and mass arrests, which will continue to haunt the people for decades”.
While “no development has taken place” in the area, the state Congress chief said “The developmental process started by UPA I and UPAII was derailed merely on political lines”.
“Those who got elected never showed any concern for the people of this neglected area, as a result of which the grievances of inhabitants of this part of South Kashmir remained unattended & unaddressed,” Mir said.
Mir said Congress Party was “set to form the government at Centre” and said that the party will create “more and more employment avenues besides starting recruitment drive to curb the unemployment menace”.
“I would emphasize the people of both Pulwama and Shopian to strengthen the secular forces by ensuring victory of Congress Party with a thumping majority,” he told people.
“Congress party is winning the election in south Kashmir and feels duty -bound to put an end to the harassment, mass arrests, besides curbing the employment menace in South Kashmir,” he added.
Mir was accompanied by party leaders, Haji Abdul Rashid Dar, Gulzar Ahmad Wani, Surinder Singh Channi, Hilal Ahmad Shah, Gulam Mohd Mir and others.
