Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday observed its 21st foundation day where party leaders said that party would continue to fight for restoration of J&K special status and its statehood.
While speaking with media Party Spokesman Suhail Bukharib said that as far as the PDP was concerned the party’s stand has been clear right from the beginning. “We will continue to fight for revocation of the decision taken on August 5 and restoration of statehood to J&K.
He said PDP was not only a political party but an ideology. “PDP is a movement which represents the aspirations of people of J&K. We have always tried to bring the two nuclear powers closer for lasting peace and harmony not only in Kashmir but in whole subcontinent,” he said.
He said 5 August 2019 was the “darkest day” in political history of Kashmir when constitutional guarantees given to people were snatched “unconstitutionally.” He further added that you can imagine in what conditions we are observing our foundation day as party president as well as many senior leaders are under detention. He further added that we want to assure public that we won’t compromise at any cost.
