Reject exploiters, embrace progress: Azad

Jammu, Apr 12: Chairman Democratic Progressive Azad  Party (DPAP) Ghulam Nabi Azad today appealed the people  to reject  the exploiters and embrace  progress.

According to a press release he was addressing a public meeting at Thatri in Kishtwar, and appealed the people to vote  for his party's Lok Sabha candidate, G M Saroori.

Azad underscored the imperative for change and urged  voters to back a candidate who advocates  fairness and equality irrespective of caste or religion. He stressed the significance of electing leaders dedicated to serving the needs of all constituents and fostering a climate of inclusivity and mutual respect. He said, "We must vote for the candidate who will ensure justice for people of all religions. My track record is clear – we have never discriminated against anyone. I have consistently advised my party leaders to raise their voices for all, regardless of whether they are Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, or Christian. Our mission is to uplift the poor and become their voice. While other parties have exploited people in the name of religion, we are committed to delivering justice." Azad appealed to the people to vote for development, emphasising the importance of choosing candidates who are dedicated to the progress and upliftment of the people. He said, “The Chenab Valley has been consistently ignored by other parties. As a native of this region, I keenly feel the pain of my people. While others have merely exploited their votes and done nothing in return, we have actively worked to build colleges, roads, schools, universities, hospitals, and gardens. We are committed to continuing this progress, but we need your support to do so,”he said.

Azad reminded the people of his impassioned speeches in parliament regarding Article 370 and statehood. He said,” It was only me who fought for your rights when other MPs remained silent, the government has agreed to the restoration of statehood. However, our journey does not  end here. We must continue to strive for full statehood, and for that, we need to intensify our efforts and rely on your unwavering support.”
