*From Promises to Action: J&K Demands Jobs, Land Rights, and Dignity Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen*

Srinagar:•12 may 2026 people's democratic front PDF President & fromer cabinet minister Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen on Tuesday said
In the two years since the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A, the people of Jammu & Kashmir have faced mounting challenges in political representation, employment, and land rights. The anxieties of our youth over job security and land safeguards are real and demand sincere, peaceful resolution.

The Lieutenant Governor’s 'Nasha Mukt' initiative is a welcome and necessary step. Drug abuse has ensnared many young lives amid rising uncertainty and depression. While local leadership should have led this fight, the current campaign offers hope. Our youth must be given every chance to rebuild their lives with dignity.

This government enjoys an absolute majority, won on clear promises to restore Article 370, Article 35A, and J&K’s unique identity. The power to legislate rests with them. What remains missing is political will.

Swift governance is possible. In Tamil Nadu, the new government delivered on its word within two days, cancelling 700 liquor licenses near religious places and providing 200 units of free electricity to all households. Where there is intent, there are no obstacles.

Assurances on statehood from the Hon’ble Prime Minister and Home Minister are noted. Yet the people’s mandate was for Article 370 and 35A. Non-binding resolutions cannot replace lawful action. The government must honour its manifesto without delay. Our youth deserve secure jobs, protected lands, and the preservation of their identity.

Recent remarks on alcohol by a respected former Chief Minister have caused public hurt. No religion permits intoxication, corruption, or violence. Such statements should be avoided,

If Gujarat and Bihar can enforce prohibition, and Tamil Nadu can deliver immediate relief on electricity, then J&K can do the same. Waiving power bills, subsidising gas cylinders, and granting unemployment allowance to educated youth are all within reach. Delhi has already announced youth support. J&K’s young deserve similar dignity.

Legislative amendments that serve selective interests, like the recent Land Grant Bill, move swiftly. The same urgency must apply to public welfare. Diverting people into needless controversies helps no one.

We urge the government to: Honour the manifesto: Act on Article 370, 35A, statehood, and identity with firm resolve.
-Protect our youth: Launch unemployment allowance and create dignified jobs to curb depression and drug abuse.
-Deliver justice Review cases of those detained for years under PSA and other laws through a humane, legal process.
- *Preserve harmony:Avoid divisive remarks and focus on employment, education, and dignity.

The mandate was for change, not excuses. All stakeholders share responsibility for the past and present. The youth, the jobless, and the identity of Jammu & Kashmir cannot wait any longer.
