Srinagar, Apr 25: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti said Central and North Kashmir will complete the whitewash of the National Conference in the state as the voters of Anantanag parliamentary constituency set the trend for change in Thursday's polling braving heavy odds.
Addressing various roadside meetings in Charar-e-Sharif segment of Srinagar parliamentary constituency Mehbooba said the PDP would emerge victorious in the entire Kashmir Valley as people are disillusioned with the misrule, bad governance and political backstabbing of the NC. Senior party leader Gh Nabi Lone Hanjura, Dr Nazir Ahmad Lone, Aftab Ahmad, Ab Rehman Nengroo and others were also present on these occasion.
She said the NC rule reinforced alienation in Kashmir by targeting all sections of the society especially the youth and tried to benefit from it in Anantanag parliamentary constituency. But, the hatred against it is so widespread and deep-rooted that even an enforced boycott could not help it, she said.
Mehbooba said while a section of the people is definitely alienated from the system as a result of NC's policies a more matured opinion has been able to realize that NC has now developed a vested interest in instability, violence and anger among the youth, which it is deliberately promoting. "To the contrary the performance of the PDP in government and in the opposition has convinced people that this party has stakes in peace, prosperity and development," she said.
Mehbooba said the people are now able to clearly see and find the difference between the two parties as the NC which wants to keep Kashmir boiling. While Dr Farooq Abdullah introduced gun by rigging the 1987 elections Omar Abdullah handed stones to the youth as a result of his inefficiency and mis-governance, she added. |
