The National Conference on Thursday released a detailed report card on education, health, employment industry, investment, infrastructure, after Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the parties in the Valley have done little for the public in the last 70 years. and the social policy that he brought during his rule in Jammu and Kashmir.
For further media dissemination on social media sites, the NC was responding to Shah’s plea that regional parties have neglected the people by hoarding them for development. The Home Minister told a gathering in Baramulla on Wednesday that “Abdullah and Sons and Mufti and Co” have done little in the last 70 years to build infrastructure such as hospitals, colleges, stadiums, roads and buildings.
He said the Modi model has seen an investment of Rs 56,000 crore in the last few years, while regional parties have received only Rs 15,000 crore in seven decades. He said that while the local parties have given stones and guns in the hands of the youth, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ensured that laptops and mobile phones were replaced by them. Shah had challenged the parties to show what they have done on the development front in the last several decades.
While Mehbooba Mufti replied in a tweet that her late father, who was the CM of the state, did not require recognition from anyone, the National Conference had said that a day is needed to respond to the Home Minister’s statement.
Mehbooba tweeted, “Dedicating my speech to answer my questions, HM forgets that Mufti Sahab was CM for just 3.5 years and his work for the welfare of J&K does not require recognition from him. Even after ruling J&K directly since 2018, BJP has nothing to show except their broken record of dynastic rule.”
True to what the NC tweeted on Wednesday, the NC released a list of developments that took place when three generations of Abdullahs, starting with Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah, ruled the erstwhile state.
A party spokesperson quoted two-time Chief Minister and current NC President Farooq Abdullah as saying, “Yesterday Home Minister Amit Shah ji told me that the development done during JKNC was in power should be accounted for. He was trying to suggest that nothing was achieved and that the NC wasted its time in office and showed nothing.”
“I don’t want to be distracted by some other things that have been said about guns and stones. The sacrifices of my colleagues in the last 35 years, where NC leaders and workers were killed or injured with these guns, Amit Shah ji accused us of dividing, the only answer this allegation needs is this allegation,” the spokesperson quoted Abdullah as saying.
The NC spokesperson released a list of works and achievements done from 1947 to 2014, when Abdullah was in the saddle, saying it was by no means complete, but a snapshot of some of the work done.
“Ultimately the people will be the judge of what has been achieved and what has not been done. Perhaps Amit Shah ji can now share with the people of J&K that J&K has been under central rule for the last three and a half years. What has been achieved,” he said.
This statement roughly highlights the period when grandfather, father and son ruled for five terms: 1948–53, 1977–83, 1986–1989, 1996–2002 and 2008–2014.
