Hakeem Yaseen calls for clarity between Govt, admin

Srinagar, Apr 4: Hakeem Muhammad Yaseen, President of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Front (PDF) and former minister, expressed serious concern over the prevailing confusion between the administration and the government in Jammu and Kashmir.
In a statement, he said that this ambiguity has left the people disillusioned and uncertain about who holds real authority in the Union Territory.
“It is unfortunate that a region once known for its identity and glory is now facing a crisis of leadership. Since 1952, the leadership in Jammu and Kashmir has prioritized securing their positions over addressing the genuine concerns of the people,” Yaseen said.
Criticizing recent political moves, Hakeem Yaseen stated that merely passing resolutions is not a meaningful form of opposition. “Resolutions do not bring revolutions. They are only attention-seeking tools and rarely lead to real action on the ground,” he said.
Appealing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, Yaseen stressed that Jammu and Kashmir remain a sensitive region where people continue to suffer due to policy uncertainty and a lack of political will.
“When confusion dominates governance, how can we expect peace, employment, or the eradication of poverty?” he questioned.
Hakeem Yaseen urged the central government to reconsider its approach towards Jammu and Kashmir.
“The people should not continue to suffer. The Centre must show statesmanship and restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir,” he demanded.
He further criticized the present government, accusing it of misleading the public with unrealistic promises during elections.
“They were fully aware of their limitations within a Union Territory but still deceived the people. It is unfortunate that they are now expressing regret over the very issues they once used as election slogans,” Yaseen added.
The PDF chief reiterated his call for accountability and genuine governance, stating that only through sincerity and clarity in leadership can Jammu and Kashmir move towards peace and development. (KNO)
