Joint Council with PaK necessity: Mehbooba


'NC Exposed As Power Broker'


GK NEWS NETWORK


Srinagar, May 28: Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti has described the establishment of a joint council between the two parts of the erstwhile Jammu & Kashmir as a historic necessity to neutralize the negative impact of partition and pursue joint projects for a prosperous future.

Addressing a workers' meet of her party in Handwara today, she said if representatives of the two parts of the state can meet, as they have been for many years now in different countries and cities of the world, to discuss their mutual affairs why should the establishment of a permanent institution in the shape of a joint council be seen as unrealistic.

Mehbooba said 'if we have to get over the bitter past there was no alternative to lifting the siege around Jammu and Kashmir and allowing the state to interact with the Pak administered part through a creative agenda of trade, development and joint projects in sectors like power, tourism and environment.'

Referring to the problems of border areas, Mehbooba said it was a sad fact that as a result of partition entire state had become a dead-end as all the historic and traditional routes connecting it to outside world had been closed but the border areas had suffered the most.
She said PDP's campaign for opening of routes will be carried to its logical conclusion and the party 'will fight all the way for reopening of our links across the LOC right into China, Iran and Central Asia.'

Mehbooba said NC has failed to contribute to the emerging political scenario in the state and has instead adopted a stance unfavourable to democratic functioning and competition.

"It is unfortunate that state's oldest party has lost its political moorings and exposed itself completely among the people as a party that only was interested in power at any cost," she told the meeting in which the recently elected Panchs and Sarpanchs from the area also prominently participated.

Mehbooba said a new atmosphere of political competition and public accountability had been generated in the state in the last one decade and the PDP had now reached every nook and corner of the state as a credible political entity and viable alternative. The single-party monopoly had been broken and this had helped the people in distinguishing between good and bad and right and wrong, she added.

Mehbooba said the results of Panchayat polls were a verdict on functioning of present coalition led by NC. In political terms it has had a similar impact as the Assembly polls in 2002 had, "but we know the NC would continue to stick to its ways of arrogance and deceit without trying to pick up the massage from the people".

She said NC has historically pushed its opponents to wall through repression and highhanded methods ever since its arrival on the political scene but had been unable to curb the rising graph of PDP. "Since NC combined its muscle and lungpower with a willingness to compromise interests of Kashmir they were always the preferred party who along with their own image subverted the credibility of entire Kashmir community by changing stances from integration to plebiscite and then again surrendering the sacrifices of the people who suffered in between.'

Mehbooba said, "From the latest revelations carried by the Greater Kashmir it has now turned out how the 1975 accord had resulted in not just political humiliation of the state but also had set the procedure for selling out of our water and power resources. The process started with Delhi accord itself and had been carried on by successive generations of NC leadership as Dr Farooq Abdullah handed over seven most feasible hydro power assets to the NHPC and the present government virtually gifted SEWA, KIRU and KAWAR projects to the central government. The down grading of J&K Bank from the "bankers to the state" to the level of agents of RBI is the part of the same sellout story," she added.
Greeting the newly elected village representatives, Mehbooba said though they are associated with a young party that came into being in 1999 under the leadership of Mufti Muhammad Sayeed but they are seen with respect and expectations in view of PDP's record of service in the government and its role as a responsible and effective opposition.

Party General Secretary Muhammad Dilawar Mir said on the occasion that the present government had given free license to corruption and looting of natural wealth. He said the government had failed on every front but had made progress only on curbing any anti-corruption effort or institution like State Accountability Commission, State Information Commission and the Vigilance Commission. "It has successfully subverted all these institutions created by the previous coalition government."

In his speech, former Minister and senior leader Qazi Muhammad Afzal said 'Ganderbal had once again established supremacy of the people as the voters there had again rejected the NC in Panchayat polls repeating the history of 2002.'

Former Forest Minister Ghulam Mohiudin Sofi said PDP was now seen as the viable party which was gaining more and more space because of its programmes and the collapse of NC as a political organization.
