SRINAGAR, Mar 18: The senior PDP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Muzzafar Hussain Baig has said the coming Lok Sabah elections would provide an opportunity to the people of Kashmir to send such representatives to the Parliament, who would provide voice to the problems and concerns in the highest democratic forum of the country.
Addressing a one-day convention of party workers from Handwara assembly constituency, Baig said a vote for PDP would be a vote for change as it is the only party that has ever been able to make a difference in the life of people.
Baig, who is PDP’s Parliamentary candidate for Baramulla constituency, said that PDP was fighting elections for the Lok Sabha with all seriousness, which can be gauged from the fact that NC was forced to concede half of the State to its alliance partner even though it is never tired of claiming to be the sole representatives of the entire J&K.
He said at the end of its rule, NC is now projecting alliance with the Congress as its only achievement, but PDP believes it is the people of the State who will decide about their future and will judge every party on the basis of their performance and credibility of the leadership. “NC after surrendering State’s authority, its resources and dignity has now surrendered even its own political space just to survive somehow or the other on the scenario of the State,” Baig said.
Baig said PDP considers people’s court as supreme and aims to involve them in the governance system so that a new chapter is written in the history of the State, which is based on truth and honesty.
The senior PDP leaders, Nizam-ud-Din Bhat, Naeem Akhtar, Abdul Haq Khan, Gh Mohiudin Sofi and others were also present on the occasion.
