Srinagar: The Jammu & Kashmir National People’s Front (JKNPF) has launched a scathing attack on the current administration, accusing it of completely failing the people of the Union Territory. JKNPF President Muneer Khan, in a strongly worded statement, said that the ongoing power tussle between the Central Government and the UT administration has reduced governance to a joke and left the common man abandoned and betrayed.
Khan expressed outrage over the plight of thousands of young entrepreneurs who, even after completing all formalities and securing approvals from the Industrial Department, have been waiting for over nine months for land allotments. The administration’s excuse — that there are no financial resources — is not just laughable, but exposes the hollow claims of development being parroted in political speeches. “This is criminal negligence. You can’t claim to empower youth while simultaneously blocking their future,” Khan said.
Taking aim at the dismal condition of educational institutions, Khan said almost all colleges across J&K are running dry. “There are no proper facilities, no adequate teaching staff, and no vision. Students are being made to suffer in silence while the government pretends everything is fine. The situation is worse than what meets the eye,” he added.
Khan stressed that this failure isn’t limited to one sector — the rot runs deep in every department. From health to employment, from infrastructure to education, the system is paralysed. “This administration is interested only in headlines and photo ops. There is no accountability, no planning, no will to deliver. The people of Jammu & Kashmir have been left at the mercy of an indifferent regime,” he said.
Calling for urgent corrective measures, Khan demanded that the government either act immediately or stop fooling the people with hollow announcements. “If you cannot govern, then stop pretending. Let those who care about the people take charge. The patience of the people is not infinite, and the youth of J&K will not remain silent for long,” he warned.
JKNPF reaffirmed its commitment to stand with the people of Jammu & Kashmir and to raise their voice against this ongoing injustice at every platform.
