Srinagar, May 10 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti on Friday emphasized that the ongoing elections in Jammu and Kashmir are not merely about civic amenities but represent a crucial battle for the region’s dignity, honor, and the freeing of its innocent youth who are currently languishing in jails without trials.
She highlighted the plight of the youth languishing in jails without trials, urging voters to cast their mandate in favor of candidates who empathize with the common Kashmiri.
Mehbooba said the main reason for fielding Waheed ur Rahman Parra from the Srinagar constituency is that there is no person other than him who can relate to the pain of a common Kashmiri and represent them in the Parliament.
She said “People know the three-year rule of the PDP when peace with dignity was accorded to the masses and what we did in our brief tenure, NC couldn’t do in 50 years of its rule. We ended gun culture, repealed the black laws, opened roads across the LOC, and built new universities. This was all done by the PDP in a mere three years,” Mehbooba said.
“A common Kashmiri is feeling suffocated. No one is allowed to speak up. The government wants to present a different picture, claiming tourists are coming in large numbers but a common Kashmiri is dying every day due to suffocation, due to the mental agonies inflicted upon him and multiple assaults on his identity. This election is to stop that tirade,” Mehbooba said.
