He said while the people in J&amp;K want their political and human rights to be upheld with dignity and honor, they at the same time seek protection of their socio-economic rights in an environment of peace and stability.<\/p>\n<p>Sayeed said instead of addressing the just concerns of the people, National Conference has contributed to the worsening of the situation through misgovernance and denial of justice. \u201cTheir only concern has been to silence the public sentiment through brute force to somehow cling to power,\u201d he said and added that not having learnt any lessons from the tragedies of 2010 unrest, NC continues to pursue the policy of repression and high-handedness to suppress the public outrage. 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. \u201cThe overwhelming public support to PDP\u2019s agenda for peace and prosperity is obvious from the voting pattern in south and central Kashmir in the ongoing Lok Sabha polls and it is going to consolidate further in North Kashmir,\u201d he said and assured that PDP would continue with its endeavour to work for the larger political and economic welfare of J&amp;K and its people. Addressing the rallies, PDP Senior Vice-President Moulvi Iftikhar Hussain Ansari complimented the PDP cadres for having successfully and effectively carried the party\u2019s political and economic agenda to the grassroots level. \u201cHaving sacrificed their personal interests for the larger objective of ensuring peace, dignity and prosperity for the State and its people, the untiring efforts of the PDP cadres have made this party to become a people\u2019s movement,\u201d he said and urged people from across the board to contribute in consolidating this movement for change in the larger interest of peace and stability. He urged people to vote and support PDP candidate for Baramulla Parliamentary constituency Muzaffar Hussain Baig. Addressing the rallies, senior PDP leader Tariq Hameed Karra saidthat PDP stands for political power for the common good and not for a selected privileged few. He called upon the State\u2019s young population to play a greater and more vibrant role in the political decision-making by driving the ongoing movement for change. \u201cPDP believes that the youth of Jammu &amp; Kashmir have the right to seek meaningful employment, freedom of expression, participation in decision-making and protection from socio-economic and political exploitation,\u201d he said and added that the party would continue its struggle towards realizing this objective for the State\u2019s emancipated young population. He said PDP is the only political party in the State with an exclusive and comprehensive Youth Development Policy which envisions a productive role for the State\u2019s youth while ensuring their economic and social security. He said unfortunately youth have been the biggest victims of the repressive policies adopted by Omar Abdullah-led government in the State.<\/p>\n<p>PDP leaders Moulvi Abid Ansari, Moulvi Imran Ansari, Yasir Reshi, Abdul Rashid Singh\u00a0 waheed Parra,\u00a0 Imtiyaz Ah Reshi ZP, Adv Ab Majeed Mir, Riyaz Ah Bhat, Haji Gh Mohd Bhat, Ab Majeed Irshad Ah Singh, Tahir Qadir , Younis S.P, Noor Mohd,Abdul Ahad\u00a0 Yatoo, Ghulam Qadir Parray Ab Majeed Teli, Mushtaq Ah,Asdullah Sheikh, Surinder paull and others also addressed the rallies.\u00a0(KNS)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karra seek support for Baig Baramulla:\u00a0\u00a0Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said security and stability in Jammu &amp; Kashmir is possible only in a space provided by amity, friendship and cooperative relationship between India and Pakistan. \u201cManifestation of hostility by the two countries either through rhetoric or through action has neither helped [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2085,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-union-territory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2084\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
