empowerment, the Panchayats did not receive even a penny out of the Rs. 10 Lac
amount announced by none other than Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi. He said
Panchayat members are being targeted by the terrorists and unfortunately our
own villagers believe that we are governments tout and this is why they are not
coming to support us because we are helpless to render them any service in
absence of funds and authority therefore we have decided that AJKPC would
appeal the voters to come in maximum number and ensure defeat of the
NC-Congress Candidates in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. Whereas Ghulam
Hassan Punzoo, senior leader and spokesperson of AJKPC alslo denounced the
attitude of the state government towards the plight of Panchayat members, the
political parties especially the National Conference and Congress Parties that are
showcasing the panchayat members as their party workers which is not factually
correct . Punzoo said the panchayat election in the state were held on
non-party basis then why these greedy politicians use the panches and
sarpanches as their pawns and expose them to the terror threats.
