SRINAGAR, Dec 1: Senior PDP leader and Member Parliament, Tariq Hameed Karra today said instead of creating an impression that BJP is trying to conquer Jammu and Kashmir through political might, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi should reach out to the people of the State with tangible confidence building measures to provide a healing touch to their sufferings.
“Unfortunately, BJP and RSS is not only polarizing people on communal and ethnic lines, but an impression is fast gaining ground in Kashmir that the Saffron brigade is trying to conquer the State using political might and timeserving proxies,” Karra said while addressing a series of road-side election meetings in Batamaloo constituency to enlist support for PDP candidate Noor Mohammad Sheikh.
He said BJP’s affronting show of might in Kashmir is loaded with dangerous consequences and it could fuel fresh wave of alienation and distrust among the people, especially the youth. “The political subversion and uncertainty that the State has faced in the last seven decades has already taken a heavy toll on its polity, economy and human resource and it can ill afford any further disruption,” Karra said and added that the attempts being made by the Saffron brigade to squeeze the space for its residents will have to be met with maturity, wisdom, collective action and democratic assertion of our rights.
Seeking a decisive mandate for PDP, Karra said the people of the State in general and the youth in particular are looking up towards the PDP with great hope and expectations to put up a responsive political structure, productive economic setup and supportive social fabric in place.
Karra said the driving force for the PDP’s endeavors was the public support, without which the party could have not achieved much. “We have still a lot to accomplish in the interest of the people of the State and our struggle would continue for that,” he said.
PDP candidate for Batamaloo assembly segment Noor Mohammad Sheikh also addressed the gatherings.
