People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president and former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday said that voters turned out in large numbers in the Srinagar parliamentary constituency to express their opposition to the decisions made in August 2019.
Talking to reporters after addressing party workers in the Killam area of south Kashmir’s Kulgam district, Mehbooba, said people in J&K have been feeling suffocated and their high voter turnout was a way to break free from this suffocation.
“People came to vote to give a message that whatever decision regarding jobs, land and resources were taken in August 2019 and after that, are unacceptable to them,” she said.
The PDP chief said the good turnout in the Srinagar Parliamentary seat will be followed by similar participation in the Anantnag-Rajouri and north Kashmir seats.
“The situation in Srinagar and Anantnag is the same and people in the Anantnag seat will also come to vote for their candidate who will raise their voice in parliament,” she said.
