leaders are Delhi\u2019s collaborators in JK: Mufti"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>SRINAGAR:\u00a0<\/strong>Accusing National Conference (NC) leaders of acting as collaborators of the Government of India in hurting J&amp;K\u2019s interests, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed Saturday\u00a0said that ever-since independence NC has performed the dubious role of a collaborating with the Centre in bartering the State\u2019s political and economic interests for power. \u201cWhile the voters of our state have little influence in determining who forms the government at the Centre, what is more important is who represents them in the Parliament to be able to deal with the very serious issues facing J&amp;K,\u201d Sayeed said while addressing a series of election rallies in Budgam Assembly segment of Srinagar-Budgam Parliamentary constituency.<\/p>\n<p>Sayeed said as NC leaders have nothing to show by way of performance or a vision for 21st century J&amp;K, they have adopted a multilevel scare strategy to mislead the voters. \u201cWhile the party\u2019s Modi-PDP nexus rhetoric is their substitution for a manifesto, enforced boycott is their ground strategy for manipulating polls,\u201d he said and added that PDP on the other hand transformed the political discourse in J&amp;K by piloting successfully and with conviction the crucial issues concerning the State and its people.<\/p>\n<p>He said PDP has not only put the Kashmir issue in a specific and rational political and economic context, but also laid strong foundations for its peaceful resolution in the emerging scenario of the regional and global political realities.\u00a0 \u201cThe remarkable feature of the political transformation that transcended on J&amp;K in the post-2002 era was that for the first time the State Government came on the forefront of the resolution process.\u00a0 The PDP-led Government, immediately after the 2002 elections, took the centre-stage and drove the peace process from the front,\u201d he said and added that this political transformation accorded fresh credibility to the mainstream parties and public representatives in the State.\u00a0 Ridiculing NC leaders\u2019 comic utterances on PDP-BJP nexus, Sayeed said a diatribe doesn\u2019t behove a party that discarded Prof Saifuddin Soz for having voted against the then BJP government in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>Reiterating that PDP would continue to work hand-in-hand with the progressive and democratic forces in the country to facilitate dignified resolution of JK\u2019s problems, Sayeed asked PDP cadres to prepare for a significant role ahead as the winds of change have already set in across J&amp;K.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the rallies, PDP senior Vice-President Moulvi Iftikhar Hussain Ansari lashed out at the Omar Abdullah-led Government for pushing the people into an anarchic and distressing situation and bringing back a sense of insecurity and uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>He said the people have already started running out of patience with this disastrous Government as their miseries are multiplying with every passing day. \u201cIronically, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and is father Dr Farooq Abdullah are keeping themselves too busy in making hilarious noises on issues that mostly fall out of their domain,\u201d he said and added that the Chief Minister\u00a0 seems to be resorting to such histrionics only to hide his countless failures on the home turf.<\/p>\n<p>Ansari said the contrary innocent killings have become the order of the day, power position in Kashmir has deteriorated to the worst levels ever, drinking water has become scarce, treasuries are running dry, pensioners are being denied pension, contractors are crying for payments, daily-wagers and consolidated workers plead for their wages, people are being kept hostage on roads for hours together due to horrific traffic jams and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI challenge Omar Abdullah to show one single project anywhere in the State which he can claim was pioneered and accomplished by his Government during the past more than 5 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SRINAGAR:\u00a0Accusing National Conference (NC) leaders of acting as collaborators of the Government of India in hurting
