SRINAGAR, Apr 6: Blaming PDP for failing people of Kashmir on all counts for the sake of power, J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President and INC-NC Candidate GA Mir has cautioned people of the opportunist and politics of exploitation by PDP to secure votes in the upcoming by-elections. He urged the people not to get exploited and misled on false promises and tall claims on the part of PDP.
Mir during his visit to various places in Dooru Constituency today cautioned people of politics of exploitation in order to secure votes by PDP, but at the same time, he expressed confidence that this time people will not come under false promises and tall claims made, from time to time by this party (PDP).
Sensing defeat in the upcoming by-elections, Mir said PDP is making serious efforts to restrict people’s movement on polling days, even people are being harassed at various places in order to enforce shutdown, saying that PDP is in habit of doing shutdown politics for gaining political mileage, but people will defeat the designs of ruling dispensation and ensure defeat of PDP in the upcoming by-elections, he said.
He told the people that they are aware what PDP has done after taken reins of power, people were awarded with pellets, bullets, teargas shells, even the uncounted PSA’s were slapped on those, who were no way involved in pelting of stones or disturbing peace. He said the Chief Minister even closed down the offices of newspapers for reporting truth on Kashmirs situation during unrest. He said PDP was responsible for facilitating entry of communal and fascist forces in J&K, especially in valley.
He said earlier the PDP secured votes by shouldering coffins, but this time, the same party is hell bent upon to terrorize people, at various places, in order to ensure that they may not come out on 9th & 12th and vote against its candidates in South Kashmir and Central Kashmir, but at the same time, he felt confident that people will ensure the victory of INC and NC Candidates (G.A. Mir and Dr. Farooq Abdullah) with a thumping majority, he added.
