The former chief minister highlighted his track record of raising significant issues in Parliament as Leader of the Opposition, contrasting it with the silence of MPs from other parties.

Azad reiterated his firm stance against the revocation of statehood and his efforts to safeguard land and job protection in the region. He highlighted the potential of Jammu and Kashmir and criticized those who underestimate its resources.
“We must reclaim our statehood and fight for our land and job rights in Parliament,” stated Azad. “A strong presence in Parliament is essential to advocate for the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.” He urged the people to unite and support DPAP’s efforts to secure statehood and protect the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Azad pledged to prioritise job creation, infrastructure development, establishment of colleges, and improvement of roads if the people choose DPAP MPs and support him to form the government.
He reiterated his mission to uplift the poor and needy, saying, “My sole purpose is to serve my people. That is why I have returned to my state.” He expressed his commitment to the betterment of Jammu and Kashmir, promising to work tirelessly for the welfare of its people.
In his impassioned appeal, Azad underscored the imperative of selecting representatives based on their dedication to serving the interests of all citizens, irrespective of religious affiliations.
