People’s Democratic Party youth President and Parliament Candidate for Srinagar Pulwama Constituency, Waheed Rehman Parra, here on Friday said that Altaf Bukhari is Delhi’s man in Kashmir, who dances on the directives of his masters.
As per the statement issued here Parra said that his job is to arbitrarily detain young boys, blacken their lives, and release them the next day. He daily harasses Jamaat-e-Islami workers, pressuring them for votes. This is the essence and existence of his politics and business. Where did he accumulate immense wealth of 10 thousand crore rupees? People of Kashmir will hold him accountable for every single rupee.
He said that Bukhari will cease to exist after the parliamentary election. I spent three years in jail for charges that were never proven against me, yet he remains free even after the recovery of RDX and arms from his vehicle. People are well aware of how he threatens Jamaat Islami workers daily to coerce votes from them through pressure tactics and blackmailing.
Parra said that, while I, along with hundreds of my party workers, were detained for more than two years, he was lying to European delegations and presenting a false image and narrative of Kashmir. People will hold him accountable for his actions.
Through pressure, raids, and intimidation, he split and fractured our party. Around 50 leaders left our party. When Mehbooba Mufti ji categorically declined to form an alliance with the BJP, who went to Nagpur? Who went to Delhi with 20 MLAs? Who destabilized the government and who worked against the interests of Kashmiris? It was none other than Altaf Bukhari, Parra said while addressing a public meeting in Budgam district of Central Kashmir.
I know Altaf Bukhari is feeling the heat due to the support, love, and affection that PDP is receiving across the Kashmir valley. All those people—whom he is paying lakhs of rupees daily? I am aware that they will still vote for our party because of PDP and our party president, because she vigorously represented the aspirations of the people of Kashmir, from Kashmir to Delhi for the past 5 years.
Parra asserted that people should think about and make a difference in who is the best choice for them, their children, and for future generations. They should vote at large in this election for the people who will roar in parliament, not those like Altaf Bukhari, who sold his religion, soul, and conscience. People should differentiate which leader will mentor and guide them and their children, those who sold us out, like Altaf Bukhari, or those who fight on the streets, like Mehbooba Ji.
Parra accused Altaf Bukhari of destroying our agriculture sector by selling fraudulent, fake, and illegal pesticides and fungicides. He is supplying the spurious pesticides and is known for his duplicity. He has not only ditched and backstabbed Mehbooba Ji but also backstabbed Mufti Sahab, who nurtured and brought him into politics.
Addressing public meetings in various areas of Budgam, Parra said that you will see in a month where the PDP stands and where Altaf Bukhari will be. I am confident that PDP will receive a decisive mandate in the coming election, and the results will surprise everyone.
