This was a sequel to a similar meeting held in
Mufti Sayeed said that the party has to take up the challenge of exposing an insensitive government that has reversed all the gains made earlier.
NC had returned to its old tradition of nepotism, corruption, atrocities and was now trying to survive merely through its administrative tools rather than behaving as a political party that would feel accountable to people. Mufti Sayeed said adding the PDP was in the field to re establish the rights of all sections of society living in the state.
It was decided in today’s meeting to hold peaceful protests on January 19 at all district headquarters to highlight problems being faced by the common masses and to awake this regime from deep slumber.
Meeting regretted that present regime headed by National Conference has failed to provide amenities like power, ration, solving the problem of unemployment and to keep a check on galloping prices of essential commodities.
Expressing satisfaction at the demonstrations held last week in Jammu and Srinagar simultaneously, it was resolved that these types of peaceful protests would be continued in the future also so as to highlight miseries being faced by common masses.
The meeting discussed in detail the grave ituation caused by government’s inability to perform on any front that had led to a virtual anarchy at political and administrative levels. It was noted with concern that the ruling coalition had lost its contact with the masses and was unable to provide a direction to the administration in accordance with the needs and aspirations of people.This had esulted in an upheaval that left a trail of disaster behind it and the government seemed clueless about how to provide relief to a distressed population.

Meeting pointed out that previous PDP-Congress regime had not only improved power situation but had also ensured uninterrupted power supply in the whole State.
Reviewing the general situation in the state the meeting expressed concern over government’s inability to address the acute unemployment problem. The youth had been pushed to the wall by an insensitive government that had only one achievement to its credit on the employment front: it had to a large extent dismantled the clean and transparent recruitment system evolved by the PDP-Congress coalition. Even daily wages and seasonal jobs are being sold by the agents working for the ruling party which has converted it into an additional
income program for its own workers, relatives and loyalists. Backdoor appointments are back and the signature of a dark National Conference era that has marked history of the party is evident all over the state, the leaders expressed. There was a general consensus in the meeting that the government had failed not only in every sphere of governance, which was universally acknowledged, but it had made people of all regions suffer through its bad policies and inefficient conduct.
