Azad have a broader understanding to set up a fully empowered Panchayati Raj system: Saroori
Thatri, November 28: - Senior Congress Leader and
MLA Inderwal Ghulam Mohammad Saroori toady said that the establishment of
Panchayat Raj Institutions will boost the developmental works in villages and
credit goes only to present coalition government in J&K.
He was addressing Panches & Sarpanches of
Bunjwah, Saroor, Sarthal, Thatri area of Drabshallah and Thatri block of
Inderwal Constituency. He said Panchayat Raj was introduced by Former Congress
Prime Minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi Ji and said that after more than 30 years
Panchayat Raj has been re-established, powers and utilization of funds have
transferred to panchayat.
He was canvassing in support of collation candidate
of Legislative Council Sham Lal Bhagat (Congress Candidate) and Dr Shenaz
Ganaie (National Conference Candidate).
Saroori said Former Chief Minister Jammu and Kashmir
and Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare Ghulam Nabi Azad have a
broader understanding to set up a fully empowered Panchayati Raj system, at all
levels. He said due to Mr Azad the BDC election were deferred because election
exercise will be futile unless depressed class of society - Scheduled Castes,
Scheduled Tribes - and also women folk are not represented at the block and
district levels in Panchayat raj system in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said deferment of Block Development Council (BDC)
polls for a short period was thought advisable in the interest of Panchayat Raj
system. The holding of polls for these bodies without necessary amendment
incorporating further powers and due representation to the women and the
deprived section of the society, would not have served the purpose of
establishing fully empowered institutions of Panchayati Raj.
Saroori said that present government is always for
the welfare & development of people of State. While appealing Panches &
Sarpanches to come forward for implementation of people friendly programmes at
ground level. He said that due to Panchayat Raj Institutions roots of democracy
have been strengthen. The present Government is all said to strengthen the
democratic institutions. He said that government has taken certain landmark
initiatives and holding of Panchayat Elections after 30 years is one of the
greatest achievements besides implementation of Public Service Gurantee Act,
Constitution of State Information Commission under RTI, reconstitution of
Accountability Commission, universalization of third party monitoring and
e-governess besides strengthening various institutions to bring about
transparency in system.
Saroori said that state government is committed to
transfer more powers to panchayat raj institutions. He asked Panches and
Sarpanches for vote in favour of coalition candidates, so that the dream of
developmental activities in the villages comes true.
