Politicians and Bureaucrats sucking blood of people:Er. Rashid

GNS Srinagar, Feb 01, : Coming down heavily on politicians and National Conference for looting PDD and not paying their dues to the Department, MLA Langate Er. Rashid Friday said that that it is most unfortunate that the top politicians who are ruling the state and enjoying all privileges and giving poor people sermons of morality, reminding them of their duties and making huge and hallow promises to change fate of the people of state are themselves huge defaulters towards various departments. While addressing a public meet in Langate, Er. Rashid said, “In a state where there is always huge Power crisis and people are facing continuous and intolerable power cuts but their rulers are enjoying the same round the clock and still fail to pay their bills regularly. It is unfortunate enough that still the power connections of common people are disconnected for few hundred rupees if they fail to pay their bills on due date every month. He reminded power department that when just two days back they lodged an FIR against poor villagers of Shanoo falling in Langate constituency who were simply demanding repairs to their old damaged transformer since weeks why can’t it start proceeding same way for the real defaulters including owners of Nawa-e-Subh Complex, security forces, Industrialists, Bureaucrats, politicians and their relatives.These white elephants and blue eyed persons are enjoying all sorts of privileges and basic immunities of life but making those to suffer who give them power to run the state at political and bureaucratic level. If Chief Minister who is Power Minister as well believes in high moral values which he has been discussing often then he must offer unconditional apology for his party’s taking PDD at a ride. He further said that the state govt. does not hesitate even in sucking blood from lakhs of unemployed educated youth by asking them to pay Rs. 200 for purchasing just an application form for applying against a govt. job but is itself enjoying round the clock. Speaking on the occasion MLA Langate also criticized the decision of Shri Amar Nath Shrine Board to increase the duration of Yatra by 18 days.“Worst enemies of Kashmiris and even communal forces have always been confessing that Kashmir’s majority community has offered whole hearted support to the Yatra under all circumstances. But it is unfortunate that hidden hands often want to keep one issue or the other on the boil with regards to Yatra. It was the environmental experts, civil society members and other well meaning institutions who were demanding that duration of Yatra should be cut down for various reasons but it’s unfortunate enough that the Shine Board has taken a reverse decision.” He said.Er Rashid further said that the long duration has not only been proving as an environmental disaster but also affecting the working in civil secretariat and other essential deptts badly. Shrine Board should not show arrogance and it will be proper and in the interest of everybody if the decision to extending Yatra is reversed at an earliest.
