Srinagar, June 13: Minister of State and Chairperson J&K Waqf Board Dr Darakhshan Andrabi on Tuesday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his “public-friendly” schemes which she said have created opportunities for common masses for economic and social development.
She was chairing the ‘beneficiary meet’ at Damhal Hanjipora in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district where the beneficiaries of various Central government schemes from the blocks participated and presented their success stories.
In her address, Dr Darakhshan said, “The stories of these beneficiaries are inspirational and are the honest public endorsement of the Modi government’s successful nine years of selfless service of the people from all sections of society.”
“Without any discrimination on the basis of region, faith, caste or ethnicity, the public-friendly government of PM Modi is benefiting every Indian citizen through various visionary schemes and programmes targeted to empower common masses. Every Indian citizen is a beneficiary of the welfare schemes of the government,” she added.
Taking a dig at the opposition parties criticising the government’s performance, the Waqf Board chairperson said, “Corrupt dynasts looted this country for decades at the Centre, divided people for votes and the same was repeated here in J&K where corruption and sentimental exploitation of people destroyed generations.”
“Dynasts and their lobby led our youth to bloodshed, deprived us of technological, industrial and economic exposure in the garb of their parochial outlook. Now, PM Modi has got us out of the dark tunnel and exposed us to a vast world of development, growth and immense possibilities of progress in all sectors of life,” she said.
Peace in Kashmir is the precious gift of our Prime Minister which has opened vistas of glorious days for us here, the BJP National Executive member said, adding, “The traditional politicians of J&K who looted our resources for their personal good have become irrelevant now.”
