Srinagar, Feb 27: People’s Democratic People District President Srinagar Abdul Qayoom Bhat on Tuesday stressed the need to unite against forces aiming to weaken democratic institutions in Jammu and Kashmir.

Addressing a meeting of party office bearers, constituency in charges and zone presidents at the party headquarters here, Abdul Qayoom said, “There is a rampant corruption and nepotism within the BJP. The party workers must prepare for the upcoming parliamentary elections and champion the party’s pro-people agenda at the grassroots level to ensure victory.”

He urged them to “strive towards ensuring party’s victory with full strength and enthusiasm in the upcoming parliamentary elections so that the voice of people reaches the highest echelon of democracy through our dedicated and honest representatives”.
Senior party leader Ali Mohammad Wani encouraged the workers not to lose hope amidst challenges and stressed the significance of continuing the struggle for dignified peace in line with the values and vision set forth by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
