J&K has to sustain as a compact, homogeneous entity: Madni
Jammu: The unity and integration of the three regions of Jammu and Kashmir is of paramount importance for the Peoples Democratic Party, emphasized Party’s Vice President Sartaj Madni.
Addressing Party workers at a reception here accorded to him on his taking over as Party’s Vice President for second successive stint , Sartaj Madni said without harmony state can fail to sustain as a distinct cultural unit and its identity and geographical complexion will also be put to threat in absence of mutual understanding and co-existence. He said this vision of PDP is above electoral politics and aims at orienting state’s people into homogeneity with due regard for regional sensitivities. “The founder leader and Patron Mufti Mohammad Syed held this objective high in his heart and Ms Mehbooba Mufti is pursuing the same goal in the footsteps of her mentor with absolute fidelity, he said. Madni said PDP faced a criticism for entering into Alliance with BJP from several quarters including some meaningful section from the state yet the Party leaders stood firm in the belief that sooner than later people of the state will reap benefits of the decision. He said it is now for everyone to see that many potential controversies on vital issues like Art370 stands neutralized and gaps of any communal and regional divisions are getting filled. He said PDP’s consistency in allowing the state to grow in cohesion and harmony is building a positive space for society and the state. Madni hoped state will witness fresh political , diplomatic and economic initiatives in neare future which will help bring the state out of difficulties to usher into an era of sustainable peace and development.
