As Kashmiri speaking labourers are not available in New Delhi, these politicians have deputed their loyalists to bring Kashmiri labourers from Azad Mandi of Delhi. Every year during the winter a large number of labourers from Kashmir valley work at Azad Mandi to earn a living. The politicians availed the opportunity this year to utilize this "Kashmiri human resource" to accomplish their political agenda.
Reports said that normally a Kashmiri labourer earns Rs 200 to Rs 300 per day at Azad Mandi. Thanks to the notification issued by the Election Commission of India, the labourers now get Rs 600-800 as politicians hire them for their show of strength. They present these hapless labourers as their supporters to impress the high command.
