Handwara, Sep 01: Cabinet Minister Javed Ahmed Dar on Tuesday hit out at opposition parties, saying they have no agenda beyond criticising the National Conference (NC) government but will not succeed in weakening the party.
\nTalking to reporters in Handwara, Minister Dar said opposition parties would continue attempts over the next three years to weaken the NC, but would not succeed.
\n\u201cOpposition parties will try to weaken a strong tree, but they won\u2019t succeed because the National Conference is the strongest party,” he said.
\nOn complaints about the sale of sub-standard pesticides and fertilisers, the minister said the government was taking the matter seriously.
\nHe said enforcement teams had been directed to establish checking points and conduct inspections at entry and exit points to prevent the movement and sale of sub-standard agricultural inputs.
\nThe minister urged people to report cases involving the sale of sub-standard fertilisers and pesticides, assuring that strict action would follow against those found violating the norms.
\n\u201cWe are acting on the information. I urge people to report those selling sub-standard fertilisers and pesticides, and we will act tough,\u201d he said.
\nAsked about NC MP from Srinagar, Aga Ruhullah Mehdi, the minister declined to comment.
\n\u201cWe have time and again commented on it. I won\u2019t repeat now. Talk about something else,\u201d he said\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
