SRINAGAR — People’s Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday alleged BJP government of empowering proxies in Jammu and Kashmir, saying “The saffron party does not want the voice of Kashmiris to reach to the Parliament”.
Talking to reporters in the southern district of Anantnag, the former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, as per the news agency KNS, alleged BJP of empowering proxies in Jammu and Kashmir in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
She said that the Ministry of Home Affairs led by Amit Shah want to achieve this aim by tampering with voter slips as they don’t want the real voice of Kashmir to reach the Parliament.
“BJP want to finish the voice of PDP. Now, the people of Jammu and Kashmir have only voting rights to seek what they want. Late Vajpayee Ji had restored people’s trust in voting rights, but the current dispensation at the Centre is trying to temper with it, while empowering proxies in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in Jammu and Kashmir,” Mehbooba said.
“The ultimate aim of the Centre is to suppress the real voice of Kashmir as the government wants to empower their proxy parties here that came into being after 2019 by breaking the PDP. They want to achieve this aim by tampering with voter slips as they don’t want the real voice of Kashmir to reach the Parliament,” Mehbooba added.
She also added, “All promises made by the country in 1947 were illegally abrogated in 2019, and later on, the entire Jammu and Kashmir was turned into a jail. Even my passport and my family members were restricted and my official residence was taken away.”
