People of Kashmir rightfully rejected seeds of BJP: Tarigami

Excelsior Correspondent

KULGAM, Sept 4: CPI (M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami, on Wednesday said that the people of Kashmir have rightfully rejected the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), as the party failed to connect with the people of the erstwhile state and has shown disregard for the dignity and honour of the people of J&K.
Tarigami continued his election campaign and was addressing a rally, here today.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that the world is beautiful because of the sweat of farmers, not the elites and that the CPI(M) has never engaged in the business of politics, but has always upheld the principles of basic rights for the people.
“J&K has been going through a very difficult phase ever since this ruling dispensation came to power. This Government has many faces and the soil of Kashmir has rightfully rejected the seeds of BJP. This Government didn’t own the people of Kashmir, otherwise, there wouldn’t have been such disrespect to our dignity, honour, and the status of J&K,” he said.
“No jobs, but PSA; no jobs, but new rules that do not favour rightful opportunities for youth. And I’m not just speaking about these issues here in Kulgam, but wherever I’ve had the chance, tried my best to highlight the suffering of the people of this erstwhile state at various platforms across the country,” he added.
Tarigami reiterated his promise to voice the concerns of the people of Kulgam and to advocate for their issues to the best of his ability both inside and outside the Assembly.
Among others who were present included Mohamad Afzal Parry, Ghulam Mohiudin Lone, Zahoor Ahmad Rather and Mohammad Abass Rather.
