Srinagar, January 23, 2022 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti has termed the Indian government’s “admission that situation is not normal in the territory as self-contradictory.

Mehbooba Mufti, reacting sharply to the remarks made by Indian Home Minister Amit Shah that statehood will be restored once the situation becomes normal in Kashmir, said it proves that silence shouldn’t be misconstrued as normalcy.

In a tweet she said, “After quite literally terrorising people of Kashmir into silence to create a false normalcy narrative, GOIs admission that the situation still isn’t normal is self-contradictory.”

Chief of Indian National Congress chapter in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir Ghulam Ahmad Mir in a statement in Srinagar expressed deep concern over the delay in delimitation process.

“It was also astonishing to observe that on the one hand, the Indian government claims to have normalized the situation and, on the other, it makes another claim in the same breath that statehood will be restored after the situation is back to normal, which is indicative of contradiction within the system.”

Srinagar, January 23, 2022 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the National Conference (NC) has said that ‘good governance’ in the territory is confined to papers only.

The NC spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar termed the release of ‘Good Governance Index’ for 20 IIOJK districts as part of the Indian government’s efforts to hide its failures on creation of employment opportunities and bridging development deficit in the territory.

“All that is being claimed by the Indian government in terms of transforming the territory in terms of development, infrastructure augmentation and employment generation is nowhere to be seen by the people to this day,” he said.

He said people are suffering on different counts ranging from inflation, development deficit, rising unemployment and administrative inertia. “Much touted 84,000 jobs for youth, infrastructure augmentation, incentivizing entrepreneurship, a comprehensive package for our tourism, horticulture, and handicraft sectors continues to remain a far-fetched dream,” he added.

Reacting to releasing of District Good Governance Index (DGGI) for IIOJK,
Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader, Mohamad Yousuf Tarigami in his statement in Srinagar said that the claim of good governance and development in IIOJK is far from ground realities.

One of the basic fundamentals of good governance is participation and representation of people, a right which continues to be denied to the people of the territory, he said. Tarigami said the authorities must, at the first instance, restore the rights of the people which unfortunately are being denied to them.
