Srinagar : The Vice President J&K National Conference Omar Abdullah on Wednesday asked the people of Srinagar to actively participate in the upcoming Parliament elections for making their voices heard in New Delhi.
Asking Srinagar people to shun apathy for voting, Omar said, “For different reasons a large section of the people of Srinagar used to refrain from voting. But now when no boycott calls and guns would be around, people should vote. There is nothing that holds you back. You should use this opportunity to send a credible voice to New Delhi. These elections aren’t about daily issues, these elections afford us an opportunity to show to Delhi and the world how the actions of 5th August, 2019 have fared in Kashmir. If you are happy with the decisions then nothing holds you back from voting BJP and its local subsidiaries. If you aren’t happy with the decisions then you have to come out in large numbers and vote for NC.”
Exhorting the party functionaries to prepare the people of Srinagar for voting, Omar said, “This time the urban apathy for voting would prove dangerous for our future. Our brothers and sisters in Srinagar should not miss the opportunity. Our workers have to shoulder the critical responsibility to help people shun their inhibitions. I am sure that the voting numbers in the forthcoming elections will far exceed the previous percentage. Our people are well aware how grave the situation is & how it can worsen if they chose not to vote.”
