Rafiabad, March 31: Ahead of Lok Sabha elections, BJP leader and candidate for Baramulla seat M. M War on Sunday said that National Conference’s thousand workers were equal to one Bhartiya Janta Party worker.

Addressing a gathering of BJP workers at Shatloo area in the upper reaches of Rafiabad, War said that BJP will win all three seats in Kashmir valley. Those who are supporters and well wishers will never participate in rallies as they’ll caste vote on voting day only.

While attacking on opposite parties, War said that they are deceiving people by showing fake rallies as they are calling their workers across valley for participating in election rallies. He said that it’s our party who focused on vote day not on rallies.

Former Deputy chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Dr Nirmal Singh, besides other senior leaders of BJP were present on the occasion.

Appealing to people of Jammu and Kashmir, a senior National Conference (NC) leader and former Legislator from Shopian, Sheikh Mohammad Rafi, urged them to come forward to keep the communal forces, “and those who allied with these communal forces out in the upcoming parliamentary elections.”

Via a press release, he said, “In the state of J&K, for centuries or more before emancipation, nationalists of all the religious communities had stridently advocated for communal harmony. It went on for centuries and centuries together.”

Addressing to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he stated that last five years have been miserable for everyone. “Even the people who’re unemployed are miserable after these 5 years of Modi led BJP. However regrettable, this state of affairs is not really surprising,” he added.

“Say no to BJP and all their allies. We don’t deserve another 5 miserable years of BJP,” he stated.

Former senior People’s Democratic Party (PDP) senior and newly joined Jammu and Kashmir People’s Movement (JKPM) Javeed Mustafa Mir faced resentment from supporter of Dr Shah Faisal, from Doda district, while addressing his first meeting in Jammu organised by the leaders and activists of JKPM Jammu region at Hotel Ritz.

As per reports, the normal functioning of the event turned ugly when a supporter of Dr. Faesal hailing from Doda district Tariq Hussain Rather stood on his chair and interrupted Javeed Mustafa Mir during his address and raised objectionable question for his (Javeed Mir) joining in the JKPM.

He further alleged that joining of such leaders in JKPM will fail the mission of IAS topper, Dr Faesal’s dream who had already resigned when he found that people of J-K are deprived of their fundamental rights including development and other issues.

He added that such kind of so-called leaders is failed in addressing the issues and problems being faced by the people of all the three regions.

“We are not opposing whosoever is joining JKPM led by Dr Shah Faisal but my aim is to aware our Movement leadership not to fall fray in dirty politics of such like so-called leaders of mainstream political parties who had already ruined the future of people of J&K for the last 7 decades for their vested interests,” He said.

“We will not allow such vested interest people in the JKPM who are trying to tarnish the image of the party which has been established under the leadership of an honest and dedicated young and youth Shah Faesal sahib who is in aiming to provide justice to every people of the state,” he added.
