Post by RK News on Wednesday, June 7, 2023
Srinagar, June 06: Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party (JKPDP) president and former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday stressed upon the need for the party to “become the voice of the voiceless and muzzled people” of J&K.
She asserted that the party must double its efforts to propagate its philosophy and roadmap of “self-rule” to “bring the people out of the morass and bring sustainable peace in the Indian subcontinent”.
Mufti said this while chairing an organisation review meeting for district Srinagar at the party headquarters here. The meeting was attended by the party's top leadership apart from the district and zone level office bearers of Srinagar district, a party statement issued here said.
Addressing the meeting, Mehbooba emphasised the “need to thwart the designs of those who want to shift the goal posts in J&K from people’s demand of resolution of the political problem of Kashmir to mere elections”. She underlined the need to simultaneously focus on the mitigation of day-to-day problems of the people, saying the youth have a vital role to play in order to achieve the above-mentioned goals.
She asked the leadership to strengthen the party at the grassroots level. "The party must become a force to reckon with and must work hard and fearlessly for the people of J&K in these troubled times," she said.
Party Vice President A R Veeri while highlighting the “change” brought about by the implementation of the “Mufti Sahab’s vision for J&K”, asserted that the semblance of peace with dignity alone paves the way for meaningful development.
PDP General Secretary G N Lone Hanjura explained the need to strengthen the party at halqa level in order to strengthen the foundation of the party’s resolve to resist the designs aimed at “further distempering” the people of J&K.
Party’s General Secretary (Organisation) Dr Mirza Mehboob Beg said, “The troubled times have seen PDP rising as the strongest and most credible voice of people of J&K in the fight for rights and dignity of the people.” The meeting concluded with a call for unity and solidarity among all the people in the fight for the restoration of the rights of the people, the party said.
