Kupwara nonagenarian casts vote for development, lost identity

Kupwara, May 20: Nonagenarian Qamar Din Breed of Main Town Kupwara while emerging from the polling station established at ITI Kupwara seemed optimistic after casting vote in his favorite candidate's favour.

"I have always believed in electoral process and casted vote every time. I suppose people are taking much interest in this election because they believe that this election can bring back the lost identity," he said. "I want my leader to represent the true aspirations of people in Parliament, because we have lost the identity after August 5 decision. Not only identity but youth of Kashmir are entangled in gloom because of the growing unemployment," Qamar Din said. He added that their village has been deprived of basic amenities.” So if my favourite candidate is elected he will certainly upgrade the basic amenities for us," he added.

"Following this election, I believe that assembly elections would also be organised before September of this year as assured by the apex court," Qamar Din added.
