Jammu, Dec 15: Democratic Progressive Azad Party chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad on Friday said his party is committed to the development, peace and prosperity of Jammu and Kashmir and he ensures everyone joining the DPAP strongly believes in this agenda.
However, this agenda is attracting youths from diverse sections of society which suggests that everyone in the Union Territory is craving for change, Azad said while addressing scores of young lawyers and social activists from Jammu who joined the party here.
Those who joined include Adv Gursimran Walia, Adv Abhaya, Adv Pooja, Deevan Raj, Vipin Rathore and Chain Singh Manhas, the DPAP said, adding that they resolved to carry the agenda of development forward for peaceful and progressive Jammu and Kashmir.
Azad said, “My commitment to people is to ensure equitable development of the Union Territory where all regions, religions and sections of society are treated at par with each other. J&K requires massive economical and developmental douses. We are lacking in infrastructural development from many other states of the country. We need to build roads, schools, colleges and hospitals at a large scale which will help us to improve our economy and offer job opportunities to our youth.”
The former chief minister promised that once his party comes to power, he will restart work in triple shifts and ensure Jammu and Kashmir is one of the top developed UTs in the country. “Development is the core agenda of the party. I advise you to focus on issues of the public and the development of the UT. This is our core agenda,” he advised the lawyers.
Others present on the occasion were senior leaders G M Saroori, R S Chib, Abdul Majid Wani, Jugal Kishore Sharma, Ch Haroon Khatana, Salman Nizami, Ch Gharu Ram, P R Manhas, Dr Tariq Azad, Adv Masood Choudhary and Shakeel Singh Bhagat.
