Emphasising on the need of formulating a long term policy to solve all problems of Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today said Congress is equally responsible for prevailing trust-deficit between people of the state and rest of the country.
"Like National Conference (NC), leadership of Congress is also equally responsible for prevailing anarchy, chaos and sense of uncertainty in the state," PDP patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed said at a public meeting at Khanpur area of Nagrota Assembly segment in support of party nominee Yash Pal Sharma.
Mufti reminded the gathering that it is a historical fact that whenever Congress has entered into alliance with NC, the state of Jammu and Kashmir plunged into unprecedented crisis and their alliance always proved ominous for the people of the region.
"It is a coincidence that whenever both these parties shared power, alienation of people increased and faith of the masses in the system was badly shattered," he said and added that like their previous experiments for enjoying power, the present NC-Congress coalition has also proved disastrous for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
"Coalition has been exposed due to its misdeed, mis-governance and mal-administration so people are looking towards PDP to get rid of the present anarchist dispensation," the Mufti said.
"PDP-led coalition regime had laid the foundation of mutual trust and confidence among inhabitants of different regions of the state," he said.
Earlier addressing a meeting of Kashmiri Pandits in support of party candidate Mehbooba Mufti, he said his party promised to facilitate honourable return of Kashmiri Pandit migrants to their native places and sought support and cooperation of the community to change the present system.
