J&K, Mar 30 : Mehbooba Mufti on Monday asserted that the absence of statehood does not prevent the Union Territory administration from enacting important legislations, emphasizing that measures related to workers, governance restructuring, and land rights can still be implemented.
Addressing media persons in Jammu, the PDP president said it remains the government’s obligation to fulfil its commitments, particularly in providing jobs to one lakh youth and ensuring a fair approach to reservation policies. She stressed that governance should focus on delivering tangible outcomes rather than citing constitutional limitations.
Highlighting the concerns of daily wagers, Mufti called for a comprehensive reassessment of existing provisions and advocated their regularisation on humanitarian grounds. She maintained that such decisions should rise above political interests and address the long-standing struggles of workers.
She also pointed to unresolved issues linked to service regulations, stating that they require fresh evaluation to ensure justice for affected employees.
Touching upon the evolving situation in the Middle East, Mufti remarked on the resilience and determination of Iran, suggesting that its approach reflects a strong sense of resolve amid ongoing tensions in the region.
