Srinagar, Apr 28:
Today, the Democratic Progressive Azad Party orchestrated a powerful public gathering at the Idgah area of Srinagar, amplifying the voices of hope and change for the people of Kashmir.
The meeting, featuring DPAP candidate Amir Bhat, Chief Spokesperson Salman Nizami, Gen Secretary Province Shafiq Shabnam, and Ghulam Nabi Palpuri, showcased a unified call for a better future. Nizami rallied the crowd, urging voters to throw their support behind DPAP candidate Amir Bhatt in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
With fervor, Nizami denounced the oppressive tactics employed by the National Conference (NC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), including the use of pellets and the Public Safety Act (PSA) against Kashmiris. He lambasted their alliances with the BJP, citing betrayal of Kashmiri interests. He said, ‘Both the NC and PDP were complicit in alliances with the BJP, perpetuating oppression against Kashmiris. Accusations of being a ‘B or C team’ ring hollow in the face of their own history. It was they who wielded the instruments of brutality – pellets, bullets, and draconian laws like PSA, POTA, STF, and Task Force. In Parliament, Ghulam Nabi Azad stood as a stalwart defender of Kashmiri rights, steadfastly opposing moves like the revocation of Article 370 and 35A.” Amir Bhatt, the DPAP candidate, took to the stage with a solemn pledge to champion the concerns of Kashmiris in the highest echelons of power.
Drawing inspiration from the esteemed legacy of Chairman DPAP Ghulam Nabi Azad, Bhatt vowed to advocate tirelessly for justice, equality, and prosperity for all Kashmiris. Amir reiterated his vow to the youth of Kashmir, emphasizing his determination to tackle unemployment by creating job opportunities and to secure the release of those unjustly detained under the NC and PDP. He condemned the imprisonment of innocent individuals on fabricated charges and affirmed DPAP’s commitment to advocating for their rights in Parliament.
