KULGAM, June 17: “People of Kashmir have been exploited by politicians for the last six decades by different politicians and political parties of J&K,” said Dr Darakhshan Andrabi while addressing a district level SDP workers’ convention in the Town Hall of Kulgam.
After successfully completing the first phase of door-to-door membership drive in all the blocks of Kulgam district, SDP district president Bilal Ahmad Bhat had convened the convention to assess the party’s Public Contact Programme of the district.
In her address, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi said that the irony of Kashmir has been that the public representatives rather than addressing the basic public needs have been selling the sentiments to people. She said that the real issue of Kashmir is the issue of eradication of the politics of exploitation.
“Politicians have given us nothing but deprivation of basic amenities. The myopic vision of our politicians has remained a barricade in our dream of self-sufficiency,” said Dr Andrabi and appealed the people to go for a change and vote for development only.
