J&K deserves real progress, not hollow rhetoric: Ghulam Nabi AzadSrinagar, Sep 16 Chairman Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) Ghulam Nabi Azad today said that Jammu and Kashmir deserves real progress and not hollow rhetoric. According to a press release, he was addressing a road show in Doda today. Azad made a fervent appeal for unity and urged an end to the decades-long practice of false slogan politics in Jammu and Kashmir. He strongly criticised political parties that for years have raised empty slogans leading to the loss of countless lives and stalling the region’s development. Azad emphasised that these misleading promises have only widened the gap between the people and progress. Reflecting on his tenure as the Chief Minister, he said, “ I want to refer to the significant strides made in infrastructure and development during my tenure. People of J&K deserve real progress and not hollow rhetoric, the former Chief Minister said. He stated that today, the people of Jammu and Kashmir are not asking for slogans; they are asking for free ration, reliable electricity, employment opportunities, quality education, and better healthcare. “These are the pressing needs of the hour. Since my college days, we have been hearing these slogans, which have done nothing but exploited the people. Political parties, after coming to power, have used these slogans as a convenient excuse for their lack of development,” Azad said. He further said that the people of J&K, often innocent and unaware, have been misled by these narratives, but now is the time to see through such political games. “The time has changed. We must realise that these slogans are only meant to benefit those who want to grab power, and once in power, they do nothing for the people,” the DPAP Chairman said.
