After poll win, Abdullah demands Governor's rule in J&K

SRINAGAR: National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah today claimed that the upcoming bypolls to two parliamentary seats in Jammu and Kashmir presented an opportunity to the people to fight against the wave of tyranny and fascism sweeping across the country.

This election is a war of survival between “fascism and dignity between BJPs cultural and tyrannical onslaught on one end” and Kashmirs collective honour and prestige on the other end, the NC leader claimed.

Abdullah, who is the candidate of the NC-Congress alliance for the Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency, was addressing public meetings in Khan Sahib assembly segment of Budgam and Safakadal area of Eidgah in the city here.

We are fighting this battle against those forces that have defamed our youth, robbed them of their dignity and eyesight and attacked our cultural and religious legacy of tolerance and co-existence, he said attacking political rivals. (AGENCIES)
