Yaseen said restoration of a meaningful political process to pave way for a civilian government in the J&K was need of the hour. He said the Governor’s rule was no substitute to a civilian government as in Central rule people do not have easy access to the administration so they remain almost unattended and neglected.
He said in the Governor’s rule, administration runs on the whims of bureaucrats, without any political directive and surveillance, adding that connection between people and government becomes effective only with the active participation of public representatives.
He urged the Center to fulfill its commitment made to people of J&K to satiate their socio -political aspirations.
