Srinagar, Oct 14: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader Waheed Para on Monday said the revocation of the President’s rule from Jammu-Kashmir is the start of the process to reclaim what the people lost in the last 6-7 years, adding that people’s mandate was for restoring their dignity and protecting their identity.
The PDP leader said that people have pinned a lot of hope on the National Conference, and affirmed hope that the party will fulfil its promises.
Speaking to ANI, Para said, “People of Kashmir have voted for dignity. They have voted for the restoration of Article 370 and statehood. They have voted to restore the special status of Jammu and Kashmir which was robbed on August 5, 2019. This vote is not only to remove Presidential rule but to restore their dignity and protect their identity. I hope this is a start to the process to reclaim what we have lost in the last 6-7 years.”
“People have a lot of expectations from this government. We hope that the coming government will fulfil all the promises that they have made in their manifesto on which they have taken votes,” he added.
The President’s rule in Jammu and Kashmir was revoked on Sunday, clearing the way for the formation of a new government following the recently concluded assembly elections in the Union Territory.
The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a gazette notification in this regard on Sunday.
