Srinagar, Nov 28 (IBNS): Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday released its election manifesto which promised to pursue 'Self Rule' as framework for resolution of Kashmir, besides effective governance to fight corruption and to rebuild the shattered economy of the state.

Releasing the party's Manifesto for 2014 Assembly Polls christened "Aspirational Agenda" PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said, if it comes to power, PDP would strive towards making Jammu and Kashmir politically empowered, economically self reliant, environmentally safe, socially cohesive and culturally vibrant.

Mehbooba said her party would use Article 370 to restore the original special status of the State as this special provision of the Constitution of India is required to empower the people of J&K and help deal with the issues of identity, borders and governance.

"Article 370 impacts everything in JK, from political discourse to personal responses, from economy to emotions, from society to sensibilities and from institutions to ideologies," she said.

Mehbooba said PDP would review the issues relating to notifying of 'Disturbed Areas' to pave the way for revocation of AFSPA.

"We would also review all the cases against the youth and stop use of inhuman

crowd control methods like the pellet guns," she said and added a special toll free hotline would be created in the Chief Minister's office for young state subjects who are in distress outside the state.

She said the party would initiate tangible measures for reintegration and re-absorption of Kashmiri Pandits in the Kashmiri milieu. "PDP would also workout one-time settlement compensation for PoK refugees," she added.
