Hanjura claimed that while the National Conference denied issuing any order regarding the removal of Urdu, it had in fact issued such a directive but later withdrew it after the issue was highlighted by Iltija Mufti.
Referring to the tenure of former Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed, he said several initiatives, including the release of youth from prisons, cross-Line of Control trade, and an end to militia-related practices, were undertaken during that period.
The PDP leader questioned the contribution of the National Conference, alleging that the party prioritizes power over public welfare. [KNT]
