Speaking in the workers rally Mr Muzzaffar Shah reiterated ANC’s stand that Kashmir is a trilateral issue and must be resolved within a set time frame. Intra Kashmir Conference could be an effective means to come to a consensus wherein people from all regions across the line of divide and all regions irrespective of faith shall sit together to thrash out a consensus which could be a possible solution to the Kashmir issue.He said the unemployment in rampant in the state. The youth should be harnessed into a productive force by finding viable non polluting industries with inclusive growth to provide lucrative employment at their place of domicile.
The mis governance of the state has added to the woes and miseries of the people. Before the coalition government took over J & K was ranked the second most corrupt state in India, thanks to the present rulers, the state is ranked number one in corruption.
The Human Rights record of this State is the lowest in the world and it is a big blemish on the democratic face of India.
ANC also demands to know as to who are the people who got the seventy thousand government jobs, their areas of domicile, their MLA’s and their regions. And details of the expenditure of 60,000 crores spent in last five years as claimed by the government . This information is sought under Right to Information Act.
Mr Shah has appealed the workers in particular and the people at large to strengthen the ANC and its Party President Mr Ghulam Mohammad Shah to form the next government to deliver two fold. One settlement of Kashmir issue on the basis of Tripartite negotiations within a set time frame for the permanent resolution of the Kashmir issue and Good Governance, to provide immediate relief to the people of the State and get rid of corruption, nepotism , loot and scandals. Any Party which takes its directions from Delhi, will not be allowed to form the next Government, ANC is a party which belongs to the people of the State, is pro Kashmir and decides its own policies with out any out side dictations. The ANC will very soon come out with a paper and explain why it shall participate in the forth coming elections
