Srinagar, June 02: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Chief Spokesperson and Zadibal MLA Tanvir Sadiq Tuesday chaired a crucial meeting of party office-bearers and grassroots functionaries at Bachi Darwaza, Makhdoom Sahib. The meeting witnessed an extensive review of pressing public issues, developmental priorities, civic grievances, organisational affairs, and the party’s ongoing outreach initiatives.
Addressing the gathering, Tanvir, as per a party statement, reaffirmed that the National Conference remains steadfastly committed to its people-centric political philosophy, working tirelessly at every level to safeguard public interests and address the aspirations of the masses. He asserted that the Omar Abdullah-led government has, within a short span of time, embarked on a transformative governance agenda focused on transparency, accountability, and inclusive development.
He highlighted that the government is vigorously pursuing infrastructure modernization, strengthening public service delivery mechanisms, expanding employment opportunities for youth, revitalizing the health and education sectors and implementing targeted interventions aimed at alleviating the hardships faced by common citizens.
Launching a sharp attack on the opposition, Sadiq said that certain political parties, particularly elements within the BJP, have been rattled by the growing popularity, credibility, and performance of the National Conference government. Unable to counter its achievements, they have resorted to misinformation campaigns, baseless allegations, and politically motivated propaganda. He maintained that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are politically conscious and fully capable of distinguishing facts from orchestrated political theatrics designed to divert attention from substantive public concerns.
He further stated that some BJP leaders are visibly uncomfortable because the National Conference government has emerged as a resolute defender of the rights, identity, dignity, and constitutional interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Unlike those who seek to impose anti-people and anti-Kashmir policies, he said, the present government continues to articulate and uphold the aspirations and sentiments of the people with conviction and courage.
Recalling the political developments of the past, Sadiq said that certain parties, particularly the PDP, compromised public trust for the sake of political power, resulting in far-reaching political, social, and economic consequences for Jammu and Kashmir. He alleged that the PDP facilitated the BJP’s political agenda in the region, weakening democratic institutions, undermining public confidence, and pushing people towards uncertainty and distress.
However, he asserted that the National Conference remains unwavering in its commitment to thwarting any agenda that seeks to undermine the interests and aspirations of Jammu and Kashmir.
He emphasized that every policy decision, developmental initiative, and governance measure undertaken by the present government is guided by the aspirations, sentiments, and welfare of the people, and this people-first approach will continue to remain the cornerstone of governance.
On the occasion, as part of his sustained welfare outreach programme, Tanvir Sadiq presented a three wheel scooter to an individual from New Colony, Zadibal. He described support for specially-abled persons, orphans, widows, and economically disadvantaged families as a collective social responsibility and a moral imperative.
He assured that humanitarian and welfare initiatives across the Zadibal constituency would be further intensified in the coming months. He revealed that a portion of his salary is regularly dedicated towards supporting deserving individuals through educational assistance, essential household support, and the provision of assistive devices, emphasizing that service to humanity remains the highest form of public service.
