PDP impeding revocation of AFSPA: NC
‘Omar’s Rule The Best’
GK NEWS NETWORK
Srinagar, Feb 4: National Conference (NC) today castigated the opposition PDP, saying the party was indulging in baseless propaganda on Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).
Calling the PDP statements on AFSPA as baseless, NC’s Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani said PDP was an impediment in the revocation of the Act.
“They (PDP) have the ignominious distinction of slapping PSA on around 1300 young boys in their dark rule,” Wani said in a statement. “It is not surprising that you (PDP) would be working overtime to ensure that somehow AFSPA is not revoked,” said Wani adding, “People of the state must remain vigilant with the conspiracies and communal politics of PDP. AFSPA is the creation of PDP and people are being punished by the decision taken by Mufti.” “We are committed to its revocation and will ensure it is done soon since our point is based on logic,” he added.
Wani said the Omar Abdullah-led government has given best governance and the state is progressing in all spheres of life.
“In the last four years, NC-led government has empowered the people and given them the right to know and the right to question in the quest to bring transparency and accountability in the system,” said Wani, adding, “Omar Abdullah-led government has created, revived and restored institutions to ensure a better service delivery mechanism.”
“RTI, Public Services Guarantee Act, giving powers to Accountability Commission were aimed to empower the people and provide them an opportunity to get their problems redressed in a time bound manner,” Wani said, adding, “Omar does what he promises, unlike PDP who just try to ignite sentiments for petty political gains.”
