Waza welcomes shahbaz-Manmohan meet, shocked over plundering of state natural resources

Srinagar, December 13, 2013

Jammu and Kashmir People’s League Chairman Mukhtar Ahmad Waza today welcomed the meet that took place in New Delhi between Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharief.

Adressing a gathering in Islamabad, Waza hoped that both the countries would maintain friendly relationship that will itself help in the resolution of Kashmir issue. He said that resolution of pending issue including Kashmir can only guarantee peace in South Asia.

Castigating New Delhi its state puppets in the state for plundering natural resources that besides denying us right to self determination-the basic right, India and its state puppets under a planned strategy are plundering our resources and not providing us the basic necessities of life like water, electricity and food.

 “In the name of 10 and 12 percent royalty, our water resources are being plundered in broad daylight. You must have heard about that the NHPC, it is just like east india company and is using our resources and providing electricity to rest of the india but we are reeling under darkness.” Waza said.

Waza said it is an irony that while NHPC is making millions of rupees by selling power generated from JK’s water resources, the state and its people are forced into perpetual financial and economic deprivation. “Neither have we got our power projects back, nor any compensation for our water resources. NHPC is the replica of the modern day East India Company which is out to loot our state,” he said, adding India must end these anti-Kashmiri policies.
