Budgam, Jan 27: Chairman J&K Peoples Democratic Front (J&K PDF) and former minister, Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen on Saturday appealed to people not to get swayed away by the “beaten-track” policies and “falsehood” of the political parties who he said have a history of breaking promise.
“These parties yet again tend to repeat the past while dreaming of capturing power again,” Hakeem said in a statement.
“In the last 70 years, these parties have started exploiting innocent people on sectarian, regional and sectarian basis to gain power. They should know that people now know their tactics and now they can never succeed in deceiving the people. Now, the era of deception and deception politics is over and only those people can win the elections who are honest and who are connected with the people at the ground level,” he said while talking to delegations of Khansahib Budgam here on Saturday.
Yaseen, according to the statement, said the era of deception and deceptive politics is over and only those people can win elections who are honest and connected with the people on the ground.
“Because of wrong policies in the last 70 years, the people of Jammu & Kashmir are facing the current dire situation; thousands of precious lives have been lost, thousands of children have become orphans, thousands of sisters have become widows, and property worth billions of rupees have been destroyed,” he said, adding, “The people are now very tired of violent unrest and they want to live a peaceful life with dignity.”
There is a need to heal the wounds of people and respect the value of their self-respect, he added.
The PDF Chairman urged the Central government to take effective measures to win the hearts of the people of Jammu & Kashmir. He appealed to Home Minister Amit Shah to restore the statehood of Jammu & Kashmir before the proposed assembly elections to build an atmosphere of “trust and confidence”.
“The people of Jammu & Kashmir should be assured that their land and job rights should not be violated under any circumstances,” he said.
The former minister said that to improve the “uncertain political and social situation”, the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir should be restored immediately with an early call for assembly elections.
