Govt plunged J&K into ocean of miseries: Mian Altaf

Rajouri, May 13

Senior National Conference (NC) leader and party candidate for Anantnag –Rajouri parliamentary constituency, Mian Altaf Ahmad, today said that the central and union territory governments have plunged J&K into ocean of miseries

He alleged that BJP Government at the Centre/UT has failed in every sphere, plunging the people of this sensitive region into an ocean of miseries. “The height of mis-governance can be well gauged from the fact that today the people of J&K are craving even for the basic amenities and facilities essential for their very survival,” Mian Altaf said while addressing a series of workers meeting at Budhal and Khandi areas of Rajouri District.

The former Minister lamented that the present government has dejectedly failed to address political and developmental aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said that lack of direction and political will have compounded miseries of people of J&K. He said Center/ UT Government rather than engaging with aggrieved people with an aim to address their issues, had chosen to tread a path of isolation, arrogance and confrontation contradicting the promises made to the people of J&K.

Mian Altaf Ahmad emphasised that the Center/UT has neglected the remote areas of Jammu and Kashmir, leaving them devoid of basic amenities, employment opportunities, and struggling against inflation and poverty. The lack of attention to these vital issues has exacerbated the challenges faced by the people living in these regions, he added. He emphasised that only the National Conference (NC) has the capability to effectively project these pressing issues in the Parliament, advocating for the rights and welfare of the people of Jammu and Kashmir at the national level. With a deep-rooted understanding of the region's needs and a commitment to addressing them, the NC stands as the voice of the marginalized and the beacon of hope for a brighter future, he said.
