DDC results show that people stand with the idea behind PAGD: Dr Farooq

Srinagar: National Conference President , Member of Parliament from Srinagar and three time former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday said the massive mandate to PAGD spells out people’s rejection of August 5 measures saying that despite beating every drum, people of J&K have firmly and avowedly rejected the misguided policy of BJP and its ilk in Jammu and Kashmir.
He made these comments while addressing scores of party workers, YNC, Women’s Wing functionaries, Block Presidents from District Srinagar, who had thronged the Party Head Quarters Nawa-e-Subha, Srinagar to greet Party President and Vice President on the resounding victory of PAGD led by him. On the occasion Party Vice President Omar Abdullah, General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar, Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani, Senior leaders Choudhary Muhammad Ramzan also addressed the gathering.
Addressing the party workers and functionaries, Dr Farooq Abdullah said that the victory has frontally and suggestively pronounced that the people of Jammu and Kashmir stand with the idea behind PAGD. “I am Sher-e-Kashmir’s son, they won’t be able to cringe my resolve by coercive tactics. The workers of the National Conference have again proven that the anti Kashmir forces cannot wipe out our party from the political landscape of J&K. Our party has right from its inception been witness to such tempest; our party structure has overly been fashioned and strengthened by hardships. Our workers have never cringed beneath the frown of divisive forces; Wednesday’s victory also bears it out. I have full faith in the Almighty and the people. I am particularly grateful to people who have stood behind us and have audaciously make known their rejection for the August 5 measures undertaken by ruling BJP,” he said adding, “It was BJP which had made the DDC elections look like referendum, now that the people of J&K have made their aversion for August 5 measures known, The ruling BJP should read the writing on the wall and undo the decisions taken on 5th of August in 2019. The results have also revealed how deeply etched our party is in the hearts of people across J&K. Those who were saying that NC was over, stand dejected. NC was and will continue to represent the people’s voice in an inclusive manner.”
