The state has been under governor’s rule after chief minister Sayeed died in a New Delhi hospital on January 7. Mufti, accompanied by senior PDP leader and Member of Parliament Muzaffar Hussain Baig, met Governor NN Vohra and had a formal meeting over government formation.
“But the state, which is different from others, needs a good atmosphere, space and a fillip to peace and development if a new government is to be formed”, she said.
These measures, they said, include transfer of the centrally run Dulhasti (in Kishtwar) and Uri power projects to the state, vacation of land occupied by the Army, more funds to flood-affected people and a smart city each for Jammu and Kashmir, besides an assurance of the longstanding demand for lifting of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act.
Ghulam Nabi Azad, former state chief minister and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, said here on Wednesday that alliance partners PDP and Bharatiya Janata Party must quickly decide whether or not they want to form the government in the state. National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah had demanded that fresh polls be called if the PDP and BJP could not resolve their current differences over government formation.
“It was a courtesy call”.
“If we have to keep forward that vision and alliance, the government of India should announce some measures to give fillip to a new government to counter many forces”.
“My party wants a government in Jammu and Kashmir not for power but for inspiring confidence among the people, about its ability to solve the multiple problems faced by the State on political, economic, administrative and financial fronts”, she said.
Sagar said Mehbooba Mufti’s ten-month “conspicuous” silence on issues like AFSPA revocation spoke louder than any “antics that are being enacted now to salvage the last remnants of PDP’s image in the state”.
He said divisive politics is not in the interest of sensitive state like Jammu and Kshmir and “we will not allow their sinister designs to succeed”.
