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.
