AIP fields 3 candidates for Lok Sabha polls in Kashmir
Srinagar: Engineer Sheikh Abdul Rashid
Awami Itihad Party (AIP) President and MLA Langate has decided to contest
upcoming Lok Sabah polls from Baramullah Parliamentary seat.
Announcing the names of candidates in a Press Conference
in Srinagar Engineer Rashid stated that his party AIP has decided to field
candidates from all the three parliamentary constituencies of the Kashmir
Valley.
Besides Er Rashid himself, AIP has fielded journalist
Rashid Rahil from Srinagar Parliamentary seat and Advocate Sheikh
Mujeeb-ur-Rehman from Anantnag Parliamentary Seat.
According to KNS correspondent, the AIP said that it took
the decision after a series of long discussions and deliberations with people
at different places via public interaction programs. “Our decision was also
motivated by the fact that both National Conference and PDP have failed the
people of Kashmir and acted as “B Team of Congress Party,” AIP president said.
Engineer Rashid added: “Now I am throwing the ball in the
court of Kashmiri masses to vote for their own party AIP as they have been on
and off cursing the bigger political parties at every nook and corner of the
valley for oblivious reasons. PDP and NC never supported my genuine endeavors
ranging from raising the Afzal Guru issue to several other injustices against
Kashmiri nation. For forcing India and Pakistan to have a just resolution
of Kashmir Issue people should come out and vote for AIP so that traditional
selfish , vested interest political parties who have sucked blood of Kashmiris
are thrown out.”
He added, “Let Kashmiris seek answers to very important
basic questions which NC and PDP have never answered. The Assembly record of
last six years is enough evidence to judge that who betrayed Kashmiris and who
represented single handedly their political aspirations against all odds. Let
people introspect themselves and use this opportunity to change their destiny
otherwise afterwards they will continue to curse the traditional parties whom
they will vote and there will be no end to their sufferings till doomsday.” (KNS)
