Privatization of PDD yet another conspiracy to dis empower Kashmiris

Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) while expressing its complete solidarity with PDD employees has said that the Indian government’s bid to privatize the Power Development Department was yet another conspiracy to disempower and deprive Kashmiris of their jobs.

In a statement issued here on Tuesday the DFP spokesman advocate Arshad Iqbal said that after abrogation of the article 370 and 35 A the BJP government has now started to implement its neo-colonial agenda that seeks to control by every means all of Kashmir, its land, waters and other resources. Terming privatization of PDD as a part of grand conspiracy to deprive Kashmiris of their assets, Iqbal said that the real motive behind the so-called privatization was the wholesale loot and plunder of Kashmiris’ natural resources.

Referring to the BJP government’s criminal mindset, the spokesman said that since 5th August 2019 the BJP took several steps that have exceedingly undermined the very interests of Kashmiri people. “The illegal auction of sand mining to non-state subjects, regulation for conversion of agriculture land for non-agriculture purposes and now privatization of the PDD that is likely to affect the livelihood of thousands of Kashmiris speak volumes about the incumbent apartheid regime’s prejudice against Kashmiris”, he said adding that it was high time that the leadership across the political spectrum should take effective notice of the BJP government’s nefarious designs and devise a comprehensive strategy to foil its anti-Kashmir agenda.

Expressing his party’s concern over the delimitation commission’s report he said “Creating six new assembly constituencies in Jammu & only 1 in Kashmir amply demonstrates the BJP’s dangerous game plan aimed at minimizing the role of majority population in the electoral politics”.

Meanwhile, in a separate statement the DFP spokesman took strong exception to the continued violence and bloodshed of innocent youth at the hands of the Indian occupation forces  in the occupied territory.
