Jammu & Kashmir Peoples Conference senior vice-president and former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil on Saturday said that political instability and uncertainty in the Valley are a result of historical mistakes committed by NC leadership.
“The people of the state are the victims of these their blunders, especially the Indira-Sheikh accord in 1975. Had the NC leadership taken a stand, nobody would have eroded the 1953 position, we would not have faced feud, thousands of lives wouldn’t have been lost, people wouldn’t have faced the carnage”, Vakil said while addressing party workers in Jammu.
Meanwhile, Peoples Conference (PC) leaders including its general secretary Molvi Imran Ansari and its Srinagar’s parliamentary candidate Irfan Ansari Saturday expressed grief over the loss of lives in Ramban accident.
The leaders expressed solidarity with the bereaved family and prayed for their courage to bear this irreparable loss.
PSAJK welcomes Govt decision to allow movement of school buses, ambulances during convoys
Srinagar, Mar 16: Private Schools’ Association of Jammu and Kashmir (PSAJK) today welcomed the decision of the government to allow plying of school buses and ambulances during the convoy movement in Kashmir.
PSAJK chairman G N Var in a statement said that the move would mitigate the suffering of students and teachers to a great extent. “The last few days were extremely stressful for our students as they used to suffer for hours during the convoy movement. Our entire education sector was in disarray due to disruption in time table,” Var said. ” We welcome the government decision to exempt school buses and ambulances from restriction imposed on traffic during the convoy movements.”
Var said that the step should be a starting point for delinking education sector from political and other non-education specific activities. “We have always been fighting to keep education aloof from any political activity. Kashmir is a conflict zone and it is the education sector which has suffered the maximum from all sides. This is affecting our future,” said Var. “We appeal all the stakeholders in Kashmir to treat education as a neutral zone for the posterity of Kashmir.”
