NC again betrayed J&Ks people, must work to ban alcohol: AIPs Nazir Khan

The Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) on Sunday held a workers convention of the Beerwah Assembly Constituency at Sail Beerwah, in which hundreds of party delegates and workers participated with enthusiasm. The convention was presided over by AIP General Secretary and Beerwah Constituency Incharge Nazir Ahmad Khan, who addressed party workers and spoke extensively on the prevailing political situation, developmental concerns and livelihood issues of the people of the area. Senior AIP Leaders including Incharge Wagoora Constituency Prof Naseer Ahmad Rather and Constituency Incharge Pattan Mohammad Akbar also addressed the convention Speaking on the occasion, Nazir Ahmad Khan strongly criticised the National Conference, saying the party has once again betrayed the people of Jammu and Kashmir and must clarify its stand before the public. He said people cannot continue to be misled repeatedly and added that the public must introspect why the same parties continue to return to power despite widespread dissatisfaction against them. He said the people of Jammu and Kashmir, irrespective of religion or region, deserve honest leadership and transparent politics. Unless people themselves bring change in their thinking and political choices, the same situation will continue, he remarked. Referring to the recent incident at Rathsun, Nazir Ahmad Khan expressed grief over the episode and said action has already been initiated against the official involved in the firing incident. However, he appealed to the government to adopt a humanitarian and practical approach towards the local tractor owners and labourers dependent on the Sukhnag stream for their livelihood. He said many educated unemployed youth, including graduates and matriculates, had availed subsidised government schemes to purchase tractors and earn a livelihood. There has always been a close connection between the Sukhnag stream and the local economy. Construction activities require raw materials like bajri and stones, and when restrictions are imposed completely, people are left without any means to survive, he said. Welcoming the intensified campaign launched by the LG administration against drug abuse, Nazir Ahmad Khan said society as a whole must support every genuine effort aimed at saving the younger generation from the menace of narcotics. Speaking about AIP President and Member of Parliament Engineer Rashid, Nazir Ahmad Khan said that throughout difficult times, both inside and outside jail, Engineer Rashid has remained firm on principles and never compromised on larger public interests. He announced that in the coming days, AIP would intensify its grassroots outreach across Beerwah constituency by constituting new party units and strengthening organisational structure at village level.

You may or may not talk to Pakistan, but engage with J&K people: Altaf Bukhari

Srinagar, May 14: Referring to recent remarks by RSS leader Dattatreya Hosabale and former Army Chief Manoj Naravane advocating dialogue with Pakistan, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari today said that while the government of India may or may not engage in talks with the neighbouring country, it is far more important to initiate dialogue with its own people in Jammu and Kashmir so that the issues and hardships they continue to face can be effectively addressed. In a post on X, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari wrote: RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabales statement on dialogue with Pakistan, and former Army Chief Manoj Naravanes similar views, are matters that the Central government has to decide based on the prevailing domestic and external scenario. However, there should not be an iota of doubt that the Centre urgently needs to talk to the people of Jammu and Kashmir in order to address their genuine concerns and long-pending grievances. Urging the Centre to address the issues confronting the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he said, I am saying this again and again because I clearly see growing restlessness among the people, especially our youth. People here are grappling with a range of issues that need to be addressed as soon as possible. Some of our immediate and pressing problems include growing unemployment and, at the same time, the absence of adequate measures for job creation and employment opportunities. He further said, A large number of young people are unable to obtain passports, preventing them from seeking better livelihood opportunities abroad. At the same time, soaring inflation has placed immense pressure on ordinary families. Our agriculture, horticulture, tourism, and industrial sectorsthe backbone of our economyare facing grave challenges that must be addressed urgently. Not only large industries but also the MSME and SSI sectors, which sustain thousands of families, are grappling with severe difficulties, and many are either nearly defunct or on the brink of collapse. Similarly, there are a range of other issues that deserve the Centres immediate attention, he added. These problems are directly affecting the daily lives of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, thereby creating a feeling that everything is not going well here and that the situation cannot be declared normal, the post added.
