Srinagar, May 19: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Youth President Waheed Ur Rehman Parra on Sunday said the ongoing Lok Sabha election is about “breaking the cycle of silence” and “bringing a voice to the people”.
Continuing his ongoing campaign for Party President Mehbooba Mufti, he said there is a deep connection between the PDP’s vision and the aspirations of the people of Kashmir, embodied in the leadership of Mehbooba Mufti. Parra urged people to vote in large numbers for Mehbooba Mufti.
“Mehbooba Mufti, with her unwavering commitment to the people, truly embodies the sentiments and aspirations of every Kashmiri. She has been the only leader in the past five years who has spoken vociferously about people’s issues, highlighting harassment from Kashmir to Delhi,” he said.
Parra highlighted the significance of the upcoming elections as a turning point for Kashmir, urging the youth to actively participate and make their voices count. “Our future lies in our hands. By engaging in the electoral process, we can pave the way for a brighter and more inclusive tomorrow. The PDP remains dedicated to representing the true spirit of Kashmir and fighting for the rights and dignity of our people,” he said
He accused certain elements within the government of “working hard to promote an election boycott”. “Incidents like those in Shopian and Pahalgam will have a widespread impact on Kashmir. These incidents create fear among the people, leading to election boycotts. The government must probe these incidents to uncover who is behind these attacks and why they happened. Such incidents will harm the youth of Kashmir and halt electoral prospects, and it’s important that they are thoroughly investigated,” the PDP leader said.
