| Farooq’s boat rally feast for tourists | | PDP has been punished for its politics of treason and deceit: Azad | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Apr 28: As campaigning came to its end in the South Kashmir constituency of Anantnag-Pulwama, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and the former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad took a whirlwind tour of several segments while canvassing for the National Conference candidate Dr Mehboob Beg. Meanwhile, former Chief Minister and NC’s President, Dr Farooq Abdullah, steered a boat rally on the world famous Dal Lake which attracted hundreds of his supporters as also a large number of domestic and foreign tourists.
Ghulam Nabi Azad addressed a series of public meetings in the South Kashmir segments of Shandus, Dooru, Kokernag, Devsar and Noorabad on the last day of campaigning in Anantnag-Pulwama. In his speeches, Azad sought vote for the coalition candidate, NC’s Dr Mehboob Beg, and described Omar Abdullah as a very competent and honest head of the government. He said that he had brought about a revolution of development in J&K during two-and-a-half years of his Congress-led coalition government but PDP had unfortunately pursued the “politics of deceit” and done a great disservice to the people of this state.
“PDP has been finally punished by the voters in J&K. It is soon going to be uprooted for ever in the current Lok Sabha elections”, Azad said on more than one occasions. He claimed that politics based on communal hatred and regional divide had no place in this state of plural and secular ethos.
Here in the capital city, Dr Abdullah led a colourful boat rally that passed through different straits on the Dal Lake. Hundreds of the Shia leader and MLA Budgam, Aga Ruhullah’s supporters shouted slogans and waived hands on Dr Abdullah who responded with equal enthusiasm. Addressing the gatherings on several islands, Dr Abdullah asserted that the NC-Congress regime would bring peace and development to this state.
Dr Abdullah said that immediately after the Lok Sabha elections, NC would try its best to facilitate resumption of dialogue between New Delhi and Kashmir’s separatist leaders. He said that solution of the 60-year-long Kashmir imbroglio lay in nothing other than a meaningful process of dialogue between the stakeholders.
