Addressing series of public meetings at Tumlahal, Lasipura, Wachi, Dekapura and Harman areas in connection with  road show in favour of party candidate Mehbooba Mufti, the PDP patron said that his party has fielded most capable and trusted candidates for the Parliament elections.
“We are fighting Parliament election to send credible representatives in the Lok Sabha so that voice of the people of Kashmir should be raised in the Parliament with conviction and commitment”, he said and told the people that vote in favour of PDP candidates would boost the campaign for change in J&K. “Change is imminent in the State and PDP is future of J&K”, he said and expressed satisfaction that his party has earned faith and trust of the people of Jammu and Kashmir in a short span.
Reiterating that PDP would facilitate any meaningful initiate to solve Kashmir issue, Mufti reminded that his party had earlier convinced successive Governments at New Delhi to initiate some concerted step for establishing lasting peace in this region. He especially mentioned that PDP led coalition, without compromising with the dignity of the people of the State, had pursued the reconciliatory process which was endorsed by the then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and his successor Dr Manmohan Singh. He further said that PDP led regime had removed a number of misconceptions and also managed economic package for the development of the State without bartering wishes of the people.
Exhorting the people to teach present regime a lesson, Mufti said that   NC and Congress Government has reneged on almost all the promises made with the people during last Assembly elections and the Coalition Government run by them seems to be a rudderless arrangement lacking direction and commitment.
Calling upon the people to cast their votes in favour of party candidate Mehbooba Mufti, PDP patron said that as a leader she (Mehbooba Mufti)  has proved herself as a trusted and credible representative of the people. “As MLA she wiped tears of people through her humanist approach and tried to solve problems of the masses”, he said while appreciating role of Mehbooba Mufti as MLA.
