Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar Tuesday said doors of the civil secretariat, the seat of the Jammu and Kashmir government, are open for people to visit and have their grievances addressed.
Highlighting the restoration of public faith in the government as the biggest achievement of the Omar Abdullah-led government, Sagar said, “People have finally breathed a sigh of relief after a decade of undemocratic rule, during which they were treated as mere subjects.”
Referring to the formation of the NC government in October last year, he said the post-election era has ushered in a significant change in Jammu and Kashmir where people are now being treated with the respect and dignity that they deserve.
This shift, he said, marks a pivotal moment in the region’s political landscape, highlighting the empowerment of its citizens and putting them at the centre stage.
Sagar emphasised that the situation has changed, with the doors of the secretariat and other power corridors thrown open for the common people to visit and have their grievances addressed.
“They are now being respected as voters and placed at the centre stage of the administration,” he said.
He said his party will serve as a vital link between people and the government, persistently addressing public concerns at all levels. “The government led by Omar Abdullah has pledged to ensure unprecedented investment in education, healthcare and other sectors in these regions, signalling a new era of growth and prosperity,”he said.
He further implored the union govt to deliver on its promise of the restoration of statehood. “Our people participated in the elections and showcased how dearly they hold their right to vote and how deeply they believe in democracy. Now it’s for the union govt to reciprocate by restoring the statehood to our region,” he added.
