During the meeting, the youth highlighted their concern over the growing unemployment and insufficient opportunities in the private sector and industrial sector.
While holding deliberation, the Former Minister said that the traditional political parties have failed to deliver as per the expectation of the people.
“These political parties have exploited the youth as vote banks and tried to divide the society on the name of region and religion,” he said, while referring to the policy of autonomy, self – rule and discrimination with Jammu.
He said that Jammu has been facing the worst kind of disparity regarding unemployment, development, and allocation of funds after several years because there is no elected Govt.
In the wake of the exploitation of the youth in both the regions of Jammu and Kashmir, he said that the youth have now pinned their hopes with the Apni Party because of its developmental agenda and policy of promoting unity and integrity.
Meanwhile, he also referred to the promotion of sportsmanship among the youth. “The drug addiction among the unemployed youth has increased and the authorities have not been able to handle the issue that has given birth to multiple criminal activities,” he added.
He demanded coordinated efforts to curb drug addiction with the active involvement of civil society, and police.
