  • "Regional parties of J&K infused the poison of violence in our lives, promoted drugs here": Darakhshan

SRINAGAR: BJP National Executive Member & J&K Waqf Board Chairperson Dr Syed Darakhshan Andrabi addressed a massive public rally at Abahama in Rajpora in Pulwama today.  BJP contesting candidate for Rajpora Assembly constituency Arshid Bhat also addressed the gathering. Dr Andrabi was accorded warm welcome by the huge gathering on her arrival at Abahama this afternoon. Dr Darakhshan Andrabi thanked the people for their warm response to the policies of the Prime Minister & said that BJP has now become a very powerful political space in the valley of Kashmir.

"Peace and development was gifted to the people of J&K by our government after more than three decades of bloodshed, social polarization, uncertain life & insecurity in the territory supported by the regional dynastic parties of Kashmir NC, PDP with the support of another dynastic group INC. Those who are now praying to the people for votes are the ones who are responsible for the killing of our youth", said Darakhshan Andrabi.

She lambasted the NC, PDP & Congress leaders for again trying to sell the semi-separatist ideology to the people who suffered immensely as a result of this evil business of the political exploitation of the youth. "Peaceful J&K is a reality now. No welfare measure of BJP are reversible. The changes in J&K are final. We have earned this peaceful situation after loss of lives for decades and we cannot allow these political brokers to disturb this situation of contentment for our young generation and this election will reduce them to a small size", said Andrabi.

She appealed to the young generation voters to reject this primitive politics of these dynasts and show them the door out. "They gave drugs to our youth, created a political syndicate out of this drug trade for fulfilling their political ambitions. They destroyed our social fabric and they are again in the field with no shame at all as they are again trying to sell their old narratives in a changed J&K. People have made their mind to reject them outrightly ", said Andrabi. She appealed to the people of the area to vote for Arshad Bhat who has proved himself as a dedicated young volunteer and is loved by the people here.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.
