“Our politics is not just for attaining power. Aim of our party is to establish a system where every sections of the society get justice and every citizen gets equal opportunity for growth and progress”, he said and reminded the gathering that PDP-Congress regime had carved out a path of equitable and balanced development in the state. “PDP-Congress regime had also laid a strong foundation of mutual trust and confidence among all regions and sub-regions of the state”, he said.  
Highlighting achievements of his party in restoring peace in the state, the former Chief Minister said that by facilitating the peace and confidence building initiatives PDP has positively transformed the situation not only in Jammu and Kashmir but in the whole sub-continent also.
 “It was only due to visionary policies of PDP that peace started growing manifold and the resolution of the problem seemed reachable,", he said and threw light on the programmes and policies of the party especially on the Self Rule document of the party which aimed at addressing all aspects of the Kashmir issue.
Although we had just 16 members in the Assembly, our party had convinced successive governments at Delhi to take some bold Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) to restore lasting peace in this region”. He recalled that PDP had entered into alliance with Congress by formulating a Common Minimum Programme (CMP) in which wishes of all people were incorporated and pro-peace agenda was given first priority.
