Srinagar (NVI): Terming People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) as a “conspiracy of political parties against the people of the J&K”, Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today said that the alliance will prove to be a “dying declaration” for “dynastic and destructive politics” in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The people were deprived of political rights only because of Article 370 and 35A. The dynasty rule in J&K kept people away from the mainstream as well as unaware of the constitutional rights,” Naqvi said while addressing the party workers at Tourist Reception Center (TRC) in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district.
Taking a dig at the PAGD, he said, “All the parties are contesting the elections including those who claimed that they won’t contest the polls unless the August 5 decision is reversed. The alliance is the death of politics in Jammu and Kashmir and the amalgam will try to keep J&K away from development and prosperity.”
The alliance is a conspiracy against J&K people and they’ve got engulfed into their ill-thoughts, he added.
“DDC election will send a clear and loud message that the people of J&K are now part of dignity, development, rights and all this will be fulfilled by BJP,” he said, adding that it was the time when BJP will make people understand that the time and atmosphere has changed and the people at present are happy and are looking forward.
He further said, “890 rules were not applicable in J&K including the no reservation for Gujjars and Bakerwals but following the abrogation of the Article 370 and 35A, the funds from the central government are directly being utilized in J&K.”
“Schemes are also being implemented regularly,” the Union Minister said, adding that the development with dignity is the way forward. “I assure you that all the problems and challenges people were facing earlier, will be eliminated in the times to come.”
On the issue of the eviction and demolition drive of Gujjars’ and Bakerwals’ homes in parts of UT, Naqvi said that no one can be allowed to disobey the forest land law.
“No one will force the Gujjar community to leave the forests. Whosoever is living within forests will remain there,” he said.
