RAFIABAD, Aug 18: Senior vice president of JKPCC, former Minister and member AICC Abdul Gani Vakil today urged the Congress high command not to field such candidates whose credentials are labeled as corrupt and tainted because of pending corruption cases in various Courts and Commissions.
“Tainted and corrupt politicians must not be afforded another opportunity to loot the State exchequer,” he said and appealed youth to get united and announce war against corruption which has become a menace in the society ruining the whole system and eliminating the levels of transparency.
He stressed upon youth to ensure complete rejection of exploiters, corrupt and dishonest persons in forthcoming Assembly elections. Mr Vakil was addressing public meetings in Doabgah and Hadipora Rafiabad in Baramulla.
Expressing concern over the sluggish development of Horticulture Sector, he said that Government has till date failed to launch a result oriented programme for the development of the Fruit Industry.
“This important sector is clearly a victim of ignorance and negligence because half of the production of 16000 MT still gets rotten due to lack of marketing and other allied facilities,” he said and urged the Chief Minister to take immediate steps to save this vital industry which provides livelihood to lakhs of people directly or indirectly.
He said “The fruit industry is the mainstay of Kashmir’s economy but still Government is not concerned about it.
