Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president and former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti on Monday said that the party would register a remarkable victory during the forthcoming polls in the state and this time the party is confident about wining more seats than in the previous elections.
Addressing party functionaries, leaders and activists of Chadoora assembly segment, Mehbooba stressed for greater coordination between workers and party leaders, stating that every person associated with the PDP must take the party’s vision to common masses in the state and make them aware of PDP’s role in defending state’s special status and providing a bulwark against the present swirling tides.
She stated that PDP’s cardinal principle has always been to safeguard state’s unique identity and make favourable ground for dialogue and reconciliation so that the vicious cycle of violence is stopped and peace is made state’s inseparable feature. “The present wave of harassment and intimidation against the youth is only proving calamitous for the state’s future and has pushed Kashmir towards the precipice of disaster. Instead of militating against the youth, there is a dire need of dialogue with all stake holders for the resolution of Kashmir. The central leadership has to understand that if it continues with its iron fist approach, Kashmir embargo would continue to hangover its head like the sword of Damocles,” Mehbooba said.
