Centre making efforts to snatch the rights of people of J&K: alleges Mehbooba

Srinagar, May 8 , 2024  : Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday alleged that efforts are being
made by the government at the Centre to snatch the identity and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. “Delhi is issuing new decrees every day changing our law, state subject, domicile, and land status after the abrogation of Article 370 on
August 5, 2019”, Mehbooba told media persons in central Kashmir’s Chadoora area of Budgam district while campaigning for the party candidate. She said after abrogating Article 370 everything has not been finished but the central
government is bent to snatch all authority and to evict the people from their lands. The former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister alleged that electricity is being provided to people of Jammu and Kashmir at high rates while it has been provided to other parts of the
country at cheap rates and even free of cost. “To participate in these elections became necessary so that the people could convey a message to the Central government that what they did in 2019 was unconstitutionally and logically illegal and not acceptable to the people of Jammu and Kashmir”, the PDP president said. Mehbooba urged the people to vote for the party who will raise the issues of people of Jammu and Kashmir in the National Capital truthfully and without any fear. Replying to a question, she said that PDP is living in the hearts of the people. “May be the people were angry with the PDP for some time, but people understand that PDP is the only party that remained in the government for a very short period and achieved many major things”, the PDP
President said.
