Ganderbal, Nov 07 (KNO): Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said that the government has brought the resolution in the assembly in a way that the voices raised won’t go unheard and will compel the central government to initiate a dialogue with them.
Addressing a gathering for the first time after assuming the office of chief minister at his Ganderbal constituency, Omar as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said there were people who raised fingers on the government and stated that the betrayal has been done with the people, but “we are law knowing people and know how to raise the voices in a way that cannot be ignored. We wanted to make it clear that the decision taken on August 05, 2019 is not acceptable to us.”
He added that the resolution has been finally brought in a way that will compel the government of India to initiate a dialogue process and also the voices raised won’t go unheard.
Omar also stated that all the promises done with the people during election campaigning will be fulfilled on the ground. “Recently a cabinet meeting was held in which a decision was taken in favour of the students as well as the students in the Valley related to the timing of conducting examinations. Deciding these issues is the prerogative of the people here, but this right was snatched from us after 2019. However, the academic session for the students of Class 10th, 11th and 12th will be changed next year,” he said.
He also said that he had promised not to lay any foundation stone or organize any rally or function anywhere other than Ganderbal. “Today, the foundation stone for a bridge was laid and I will be back after tomorrow for a meeting here in which all the top government officials as the council of ministers will be present,” he said.
Furthermore, he stated that the people from his constituency will not have to find him in Srinagar, but he would be available for the people at Dak Bunglow here once a week while other government functionaries will also remain stationed there for the people of his constituency.
He also said that the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has mentioned every promise of theirs in his speech including the electricity tariff, ration, gas cylinders and other things. “All the promises done with the people will be fulfilled on the ground. ’Our government will not waste even a single day and will work hard for the wellbeing of the people,” he said.
Also, the chief minister stated that it is for the first time after 1996 that only one party is in the government till yet in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that the people have thrown their mandate wisely as the organizations, who had nothing to do with the elections were brought into the fray—(KNO)
