Srinagar: Former Chief Minister and PDP President Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday said more and more people joining her party would further strengthen it at the grassroots levels and also strengthen the struggle for the rights and dignity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
She also appealed for unity in view of the present difficult situation and for mitigating the sufferings of the people. PDP president was addressing a party function here. Scores of political and social activists from North Kashmir’s Lolab and Kupwara constituencies joined the PDP.
Later, talking to media persons, Mehbooba said central government was scared of Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) as it feels that “together we will not allow its plan for Jammu and Kashmir to succeed.”
“Is very easy to understand why Dr Farooq Abdullah (of National Conference) was summoned again. They (Central government) know that their plan regarding Kashmir would fail if the Gupkar Alliance comes together,"she said.
