SRINAGAR, May 1: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference president, Dr Farooq Abdullah today said that people of Anantnag-Rajouri will give a big blow to those hatching conspiracy to deprive Gujjar-Bakerwal population from exercising their franchise.
He made these comments while addressing a series of massive election rallies in Kotranka and Thannamandi area, organised by DDC Chairman Naseem Liaqat and Muzaffar Khan, respectively.
In his address Dr Farooq said, “BJP and its allies have developed cold feet due to the ground swell of support on ground for NC. In reality BJP is in panic mode as it is losing badly in the ensuing elections. It has already lost Udhampur and Jammu seats. BJP stands wiped out in the plains of Jammu. They fear that they are losing this election too and scared of it, their only strategy is now to defer the polls. Deferring polls is to benefit the BJP and its allies but all such nefarious designs will not yield anticipated results as people will dust their plans and vote against them.”
He further exhorted people to remain cautious of BJP and its communal designs. “They can go to any extent to grab power. They will create divisions between communities to achieve their end. BJP is leaving no stone unturned to grab power by playing communal card in order to prevail upon common and poor masses through exploitive means but people are determined to give them a befitting reply and will never allow them to grab power. Our people understand their designs. They will not allow them to weaken JK’s secular fabric, unity and integrity. People have made it a point to bid good bye to BJP.”
Earlier in the day, Farooq Abdullah and Party candidate for Anantnag- Rajouri Mian Altaf Ahmad paid obeisance at the Shadra- Sharief Shrine, where they prayed for lasting peace and prosperity in J&K.
Among others Rattan Lal Gupta Provincial president Jammu, Vikar Rasool Congress State president, Shabir Khan former Minister Congress, Sain Rashid DDC, Mushtaq Shawal Block president Thannamandi, Ch. Maqbool Hussain, Noor Hussain, Shamim Mughal, Ch. Liaqet Ali Central secretary, Naseem Liaqet DDC Chairman Rajouri, Ch.Mohd Shaffi, Abdul Rashid Zonal secretary, Saki Mohd Block President, Ghulam Abass Block president Peeri, and others were present on the occasion.
