Mehbooba said this replying to National Conference (NC) chief Farooq Abdullah statement that PDP party is finished in Kashmir.
Addressing a crowd of people in her roadshow in Larnoo, (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti, said, “We wanted other political parities to fight these elections together with us as people of Jammu and Kashmir need to come together as it a need. There are troubles that are looming on us and our innocent youth are languishing in prions and nobody talks about them. But unfortunately the leadership of National Conference, party workers don’t want that we come together. Farooq Sahab did not even listened to me and said that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is finished in Kashmir. How can PDP be ended as it has ended Task Force, Ikhwan, Quota and in 30 years PDP has opened ways to connect Kashmir valley with the rest of the country and we have also started talks with central government.
“You can see the huge crowd of people in Pahalgam and here. People will answer themselves whether PDP is finished or alive in their hearts and guns, stones, boycotting elections will give people nothing. Your vote will decide your fate”, she asserted in her roadshow in Larnoo of Anantnag.
