PDP Has Lost Relevance in J&K Politics: Minister Sakina Itoo

Chadoora, June 27 : Minister for Higher Education, Health, and Social Welfare, Sakina Masood Itoo, strongly criticized the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), saying the party has lost its relevance in Jammu and Kashmir and is now resorting to baseless criticism.

She made these remarks during her visit to Chadoora in Budgam district, where she inaugurated the construction of a new degree college worth ₹1.2 crore.

Responding to PDP’s criticism of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s recent remarks on statehood, Minister Itoo said, “The PDP has failed the people of Jammu and Kashmir and has been widely rejected. They are now playing dirty politics to divert attention from their failures.”

She added that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah remains committed to the welfare and development of the people of J&K, a fact that PDP is well aware of, but chooses to ignore for political gain.

The Minister was accompanied by Chadoora MLA Ali Mohammad Dar and senior district officers during the visit.

The new degree college is expected to significantly boost higher education infrastructure in the region.(KNS)
