Awami Ittihaad Party President (AIP) and MLA Langate Engineer Rashid has criticized the National Conference, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Congress for badly exploiting people in the name of farcical slogans of Autonomy and Self-rule.Engineer Rashid expressed concern that the mainstream leadership put unnecessary burden on state coffer for their personal luxuries while common masses continue to suffer on account of lack of basic facilities. Pertinently, Engineer Rashid participated in number of road shows in the Ganderbal District while campaigning for Awami Ittihaad Party (AIP) Candidate from Srinagar Parliamentary Constituency Rashid Rahil, an eminent Journalist of Kashmir.
“The Jammu & Kashmir State especially the Valley of Kashmir has suffered a lot on account of political uncertainty. Mainstream leaders have adopted a step-motherly attitude when it comes to development of Kashmir while today during my visit to Ganderbal District I can realize that despite always supporting National Conference the Ganderbal District is presenting bleak outlook in terms of the overall development.
Ganderbal Township despite being District Headquarter is in shambles and represents the ungrateful and betrayal of National Conference. The cancer of VIP Culture promoted by majority of mainstream leaders has proven a costly affair for common people,” stated Engineer Rashid.
Engineer Rashid made it clear that Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA’s) while seeking vote from people ignore the very people by acting as ‘White elephants’ and spending lavish life. “ While the elected representatives spend huge amount on personal luxuries and security the state coffer remains empty and no amount is thus available for development.NC has always tried to hoodwink people by autonomy from several decades and also now PDP by showing the green pastures of autonomy is misleading the people and Congress is also doing nothing,” observed Engineer Rashid.Engineer Rashid made it clear that the day of accountability of selfish politicians by people of Kashmir is very near.
