SRINAGAR, Apr 27: Asserting that the politics based on deceit and falsehood has vitiated the atmosphere in Kashmir valley, besides isolating people, causing huge damages to overall development of the State, Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president and Party candidate from Anantnag Parliamentary Constituency GA Mir has emphasized the people of South Kashmir to strengthen the secular forces led by Congress Party by using ballot power.
Mir said that the present elections was a direct fight between communal and secular forces and the victory of secular forces amounts to safeguarding the Art 370, 35A which was in great danger due to the betrayal by power-hungry PDP.
Addressing public gathering at Nussu Bedragund in Devsar Assembly segment of Kulgam district today, Mir said the politics based on deceit and falsehood was the main source behind the loses caused to life and property, besides witnessing bloodshed and causing huge damages to people in every respect. Even the efforts were being made to abrogate special status granted to the state by the BJP. This all happened when PDP surrendered it’s core agenda for the sake of coming into power.
Mir hit out at BJP chief Amit Shah over dreaming about abrogating Art 370 if voted to power, saying that BJP chief has gone senile while sensing the defeat of Saffron Party in the present elections, as a result, Shah was desperate enough about the poll outcome, trying hard to exploit people over Art 370. No one can abrogate Art 370 because the special status granted to J&K State under constitution of India was permanent, Mir said.
He said Congress respects the urges and aspirations of the people and will do everything to ensure that people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh do not feel isolated in any way.
Addressing the gathering Ex- MLA Mohd Amin Bhat felt confident that people of Devsar and other areas in South Kashmir have realized as to how PDP compromised on the mandate given to it during 2014 election. They have now decided to send strong voice of Congress Party to Parliament to represent them and people to ensure victory of GA Mir. Farooq Andrabi and Surinder Singh Channi also spoke on the occasion.
