Jammu and Kashmir, June 14: Rajya Sabha Member Ghulam Ali Khatana on Sunday attended a public gathering in Gool, Ramban district, asserting that the National Conference-led government had failed to fulfill its promises and deliver on public expectations.
Information was available with The Chenab Times that hundreds of residents, alongside government officials and employees from various departments within Sub-Division Gool, participated in the public darbar. During the interaction, Member of Parliament Ghulam Ali Khatana engaged with the attendees, listening to their grievances and addressing concerns with the relevant officers. He issued directives for prompt action to resolve several public issues that were brought to his attention.
Addressing media personnel at the event, Mr. Khatana made allegations that the National Conference administration had fallen short of meeting public aspirations. He claimed that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his ministerial colleagues were out of touch with the populace’s pressing concerns. The Member of Parliament also alleged that irregularities, including corruption, were occurring in the transfer and posting of government employees.
Responding to inquiries, Mr. Khatana commented on the internal dynamics of the National Conference, stating that even legislators within the party were reportedly dissatisfied with what he described as the party’s adherence to “dynastic politics.” He further claimed that dissent was prevalent among party ranks.
The Rajya Sabha member emphasized that the people had granted the National Conference a significant mandate. However, in his view, the government had not lived up to its commitments. He also accused the administration of mismanagement of public resources and a general neglect of public welfare initiatives.
Regarding the broader political landscape, Mr. Khatana expressed his view on the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. He stated that statehood would be reinstated under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and not through the efforts of the current National Conference government.
