He said that Chenab Valley relied heavily upon both NC and Congress but the only visible change on developmental and peace front was witnessed in the hilly region during the short tenure of Mufti Muhammad Sayed.
“We did not have a political stake in the region, post 2002 elections, but the party patron and the then Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayed made it a point to ensure development of this mountainous valley”, Akhtar claimed.
“Ironically the developmental initiatives taken by the previous government were stalled by the present dispensation and the fact has been time and again publicly realised by the Congress leadership also,” he alleged, He said that the PDP fought the recently contested LS polls presenting its own agenda and policies instead of going for “unwanted and unprecedented criticism” of the political opponents.
“We were understood and appreciated by the people for our vision and honesty and the success of the party in the polls stands testimony of our belief”, he said.
