Srinagar, May 14: Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) Chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad on Tuesday said his party remains resolute against the “divisive tactics” employed by regional parties. He condemned their alleged attempts to fragment communities based on caste and religion, be it Gujjars, Paharis or Kashmiris.
Azad underscored his party’s commitment to prioritising development over division, stressing the need to hold these parties accountable for their “exploitation” of the people. “Both the National Conference and People’s Democratic Party have exploited the people for years without contributing to their welfare,” he said.
The former chief minister said while the Mughals created gardens in Kashmir many centuries ago, he established the Tulip Garden which draws lakhs of visitors. “Despite Kashmir being a Muslim-dominated region, there was no Hajj House until I initiated its construction. Over the years, I have facilitated the establishment of more districts, medical colleges, schools, stadiums, roads, and tehsils,” he said.
“I challenge them to showcase their developmental achievements, as they have only indulged in empty slogans, which they now conveniently forget. My sole agenda is development; I have never exploited people on the basis of religion or caste. Throughout my over 45 years in politics, no one can accuse me of corruption. My track record is transparent; I do not possess extravagant mansions,” he added.
Azad said his departure from Delhi was driven solely by his dedication to serving the people. Without aspirations for personal gain, I pledge to prioritise the upliftment of the underprivileged, he said.
Addressing critical issues such as youth involvement in militancy and drug abuse, he advocated for the creation of employment opportunities and the enhancement of infrastructure.
Recognising the youth as the cornerstone of the nation’s future, the DPAP chief said he is committed to fostering new leadership, exemplified by his support for young Lok Sabha candidates like Amir Bhatt from Srinagar and Adv Saleem Parray from Anantnag.
Reflecting on the voting turnout in the Srinagar seat, Azad expressed disappointment at the “lower-than-anticipated” numbers, citing widespread disillusionment with the current government.
He underscored the pivotal role of increased voter participation in forthcoming phases, asserting that real change hinges on active engagement in the electoral process.
