SRINAGAR, Mar 22: Janata Dal United JD (U) State president G M Shaheen today announced Shoukat Hussain Khan of Ganderbal as the party’s Lok Sabha candidate for Central Kashmir.
The candidature of Khan was announced during a function at JD (U) headquarters, Rajbagh Srinagar, in presence of senior party leaders.
Speaking on the occasion, Shaheen alleged that the alliance between NC and Congress was not only opportunistic but a mere eyewash as well. “Congress’s surrender implies acceptance of Greater Autonomy pushing the State back to pre-1953 and division of Jammu region on religious lines promoting Greater Kashmir. Congress-NC combine will put an end to anti terror operations and revive the over ground terror support network,” he said and added that people of J&K would do a great disservice to their future generations if they vote for the communal and divisive agenda of the NC- Congress alliance.
“It would not be surprising if the PDP also joins hand to further marginalise the voice of people and their fundamental rights since independence,” the JD (U) leader said and reminded the people about Rajiv-Farooq accord, which had cheated the people of J&K for their vested interest to remain in power and ruined the sentiments of the people.
