JAMMU, Nov 24: Senior National Conference leader and Minister for CAPD, Ch Mohammad Ramzan today said that Kashmiri migrants should come forward and strengthen the NC by voting for the party, which has always upheld the secular principals and pluralistic ethos of the State.
The Minister was addressing a series of public gatherings at different places like Jagti, Purkhoo, Nagrota, Bantalab, Durga Nagar and Muthi etc.
Mr Ramzan assailed various political actors for trying to woo the migrants, saying their vote-bank politics is getting exposed with each passing day and now the onus lies on the migrants to give them a befitting reply by casting their vote in favour of NC, which has been the only party to raise their issues in various fora and also take remedial measures for redressal of their grievances. He said NC has always stood for the unity and integrity of the State and also for sustaining the concept of mutual co-existence. “Thousands of our party workers have laid their lives for the same”, he added.
Appealing the migrants to reject the forces of deceit and division, the Minister said that they are trying to mislead the people for their ulterior political motives and also trying to create division between different sections of the society in order to fulfill their lust for power. He said that these parties are responsible for pushing the State into the decades of chaos and destruction and the masses should teach them a lesson by voting for National Conference, which is the only secular party having the agenda of developing the State on modern lines and also ensuring sustained peace.
