Mehbooba slams NC govt for Kashmiris’woes, removing Urdu from revenue records
Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti has urged people to “bring Kashmir out of uncertainty, distress and tribulations,” while accusing the National Conference (NC)-led government of having “failed on every front.”
According to Kashmir Media Service, addressing a workers’ convention in Islamabad district, Mufti targeting the present dispensation led by Omar Abdullah, said, criticised chief minister for not condemning US and Israeli actions against Iran.
“The Punjab Assembly passed a resolution condemning the attack on Iran, but our assembly couldn’t,” she said. On law and order, Mehbooba condemned the booking of six Sopore youths under the draconian Public Safety Act (PSA) following protests over molestation of a schoolgirl.
“Filing FIRs means they will face difficulty in getting jobs and passport verification,” she said, adding that during her tenure she “revoked FIRs of around 12,000 youth” and ensured “minimum use of PSA.”
Separately, PDP leader Iltija Mufti told reporters that the NC-led government “didn’t go for rationalisation of reservation” and “removed Urdu from revenue records.” She said, “The government failed to provide jobs or regularise daily wagers and is blaming the Lieutenant Governor for wrong decisions.” Senior PDP leaders, including Abdul Rehman Veeri, Abdul Gafar Sofi, Mehboob Beg, and Peer Mansoor, attended the convention.
