Sharing the national concern about the unchecked corruption and black money in the country, SDP today formally announced its active support to the call of protests by Baba Ramdev at New Delhi beginning tomorrow. SDP President Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today announced the decision of the support to the national crusade at a function held at Press Club in Jammu. While speaking on the occasion Dr Darakhshan Andrabi said that a caravan of about two hundred SDP leaders and delegates from all the divisions of the state will be leaving for New Delhi this afternoon to join the Hunger Strike with all other nationalists who are truly concerned with the grave situation of corruption & black money in the country. Dr Andrabi said that she herself had been crying hard and fighting against this legalized corruption and black money at home in Jammu & Kashmir for the last so many years now and she had recently initiated a campaign against the corrupt practices of bureaucrats and politicians in J&K who have remarkably raised us to number two in corruption in whole of the country. Dr Darakhshan said that this national crusade will strengthen and encourage such mass movements in J&K which she has already taken up. Dr Andrabi appealed to all social, political and cultural organizations to join this fight against the worst evil of our times which has made our lives more miserable than of the old days of foreign rule. Dr Darakhshan said that when on one hand we boost of our strengthened democracy in India, we make mockery of it by the unchecked corruption and black money which has made our democratic system a complete failure. SDP supreme expressed her deep anguish over the state of affairs in J&K, “We, in the garb of militancy and law & order problems, escape out of Accountability and hence find it very convenient to loot our treasuries and misuse our positions while implementing different governmental schemes, programmes, plans and works”, said Dr Darakhshan Andrabi. She said that after New Delhi such mass movements will be organized in Srinagar & Jammu and she expects the support from all those who are really hurt by the situations of J&K.
The SDP leaders who were present at the occasion included Ajay Kumar, Vishal Choudhry,Dr Shariefuddin, Gursagar Singh, Peer Abdul Majid Shah, Sham Bhagat, Munish Gupta, Sanjay Manhas and Mohammad Yousuf Rather.
