 Aam Aadami Party (AAP) Friday alleged that National Conference (NC) which claims of empowering women folk of the state has actually disempowered them by not fulfilling the promises which the party made with the women population of Jammu & Kashmir.Speaking at a various public meetings in Khansahib assembly segment of Central Kashmir's Budgam district the AAP leader Dr Raja Muzaffar Bhat said that National Conference has always played with the sentiments of people of Jammu & Kashmir by raising hollow slogans of Raishuramri and Autonomy. Not only the people of the state have been emotionally blackmailed but NC played with the sentiments of the women folk as well . 

Dr Muzaffar who is also AAP's candidate from Srinagar Parliamentary seat  said that National Conference promised to establish a " Women's University "in the state in its 2008 assembly election manifesto , but the party miserably failed to fulfil the same. “Leave aside Women University  the NC lead coalition could not establish few Degree Colleges and other career based institutions for especially for girls,” he said.He questioned that what kind of women empowerment NC is talking about when Asiya and Neelofar from Shopian and mothers of missing youth and are still waiting for the justice but the Government hardly reached out to them. “Where is NC's Truth and Reconciliation commission which they promised to set up. The State Women's Commission is a mere toothless tiger and a powerless institution whose orders are hardly implemented by the Government agencies,” he said.
