Srinagar, Mar 18: Poeple’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Anantnag Parliamentary constituency and son of PDP founder Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, Tasaduq Hussain Mufti, in his maiden poll campaign meeting today, asked party workers not to risk their lives for his victory and asked them to take care of their security first.
Addressing his first workers meeting as part of his poll campaign at Dak Bungalow in Anantnag, Tasaduq asked people not to risk their lives for his victory. “My personality is after you. You will make me victorious in elections but not at the cost of your life. First, you need to protect yourself. If I win, then it is good, very good and if I won’t win still my work will continue and will continue at very fast pace. I just wanted to say this much only to you, be happy and God willing we will meet and will change and this is my intent. This is my passion and my father’s passion was also same. I don’t need to tell you about him. And, God willing we will win, inspite of whether I will become Member of Parliament or not”, he said.
Junior Mufti said his father Mufti Mohammad Sayeed has asked him to fight for truthfulness and he will continue to do so irrespective of the outcome of the upcoming Lok Sabha by-elections.
“It is time to work for the welfare of people and first priority is the people connected to PDP through workers. My victory will be put for the party and democracy but priority is the worker but not me. I am next to workers and the people”, he added
Earlier while introducing himself in the workers meeting, Tasaduq said: “My name is Mufti Tasaduq Hussain. One day I asked Mufti sahib (Mufti Muhammad Sayeed) why you have named me Tasaduq? Its meaning in Arabic is ‘qurbani’ (sacrifice). He replied saying, ‘you are an awkward person. You have grown so much and you don’t even know meaning of your name. Tasaduq Jigar, means ‘truthfulness…’ This truthfulness was Mufti sahab’s faith and is also my faith. I will limit my speech because I don’t speak much. I may get lost in these words. There is need of work and not words. First of all which we need to understand is that State is first and then it is me”, he added.
Tasaduq Mufti has direct contest with Congress-National Conference alliance candidate and State president of Congress Party G A Mir. Tasaduq joined politicis after the death of his father last year and is contesting his first election.
