PDP has played historical role in restoring peace in sub-continent: Mufti



GNS Katra (Reasi), April 19  : Patron of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said that his party has played historical role in restoring peace in the India Sub-Continent because the agenda of peace and reconciliation, which was pioneered and implemented by PDP, has yielded encouraging results. He, however, said that PDP would continue to pursue its visionary agenda to change destiny of the people and also to make Jammu and Kashmir an Island of peace.
Addressing one convention of party workers of district Reasi here today, Mr Sayeed, while pointing towards some new initiatives taken by India and Pakistan to further improve their relations, said that foundation to take such bold initiatives for strengthening relations between two neighbouring countries were laid only during PDP led regime after 2002. “Although we had only 16 members in our kitty but it was result of our convictions that we convinced successive regimes at Delhi to take some bold decisions to restore peace in this region especially to improve relations with Pakistan”, he said and recalled the historic announcement made by then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee from Srinagar in which he had extended hand of friendship towards Pakistan. “Tension was high on borders at that time but it was all due to the result of PDP’s pro-peace agenda that the then Prime Minister had made such historic announcement from Srinagar”, he recalled.
Mr Sayeed that PDP had scripted a new chapter of peace and development in the State. He said that July 28, 1999 was landmark in the political history of Jammu and Kashmir because PDP was formed on that very day and this party has revived peoples’ faith in the democratic institutions. It was PDP that had restored people faith democracy, he said and especially mentioned victory of party candidate Qazi Mohammed Afzal from Ganderbal assembly segment, which was once considered as bastion of NC, in the year 2002. “Unlike other parts of the country, people of Jammu and Kashmir, for decades together, were not allowed to get the taste of democracy because NC had never allowed democracy to flourished here”, he said and added that it was  PDP that has challenged the hegemony of NC and allowed the democracy to flourish here.
“The way people of the state has been supporting our party, it has become clear that there is no alternative of PDP in the state and this party is going to change destiny of the people by implementing its progressive and visionary agenda”, he said, adding, change is imminent in Jammu and Kashmir because people have faith on the policies and programmes of PDP.
Responding to the demands of locals, former Chief Minister assured the people that his party would take up the demands of former Baridaries with Governor N N Vohra. He supported the demand of the local people that kin of Baridaries should be given jobs in Mata Vaishno Devi University and in Shrine Board. He also demanded that locals be given priority in jobs in the University.
He assured the people that former Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffar Hussain Beig would take up the issue of providing employment to the locals including kin of ex-Baridaries in the University and Shrine Board with the Governor.  
Speaking on the occasion, former Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffar Hussain Beig, said that PDP led regime had set an example of equitable and balanced development in Jammu and Kashmir. “Credit goes to the PDP-Congress regime that first time after 1947, in the year 2002 all regions were treated equally in developmental and other activities”, he maintained and added that it was after 2002, serious efforts were made to empower all regions to remove the sense of inequality and discrimination. “Jammu and Ladakh regions were also involved in the decision making process during the regime of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed” he said.
Former Finance Minister Tariq Hamid Karra, while addressing the function, said that one and only achievement of the present NC regime was legalization of corruption. He said that during the last more than three years corruption has crossed all limits. He said that corruption, from top to bottom, has engulfed the government.
Thakur Balbir Singh, Daman Bhasin, Partap Sharma, Bansi Lal Thakur, Rajinder Manhas, Sukhdev Sharma, Master Bansi Lal, Gurdeep Panday, Parveen Akthar, Prem Nath Sharma, Gurjeet Singh, Mohi-ud Din, Mohammad Yasin, Master Mohammed Suhan, Mohammed Israil and others also addressed the meeting.
