Will promote peace, development in Jammu & Kashmir: Azad

Srinagar, Aug 03: Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad Saturday said his mission is to promote peace and development in Jammu and Kashmir.

Azad highlighted these points while holding confabulations with party leaders and workers in view of Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir.

He highlighted the significance of involving party members at all levels in decision-making process.

Azad underscored the need for a unified and collaborative approach to ensure that the DPAP’s electoral strategy effectively addresses the needs and aspirations of the people.

In a statement, he said the recently held Lok Sabha elections have been largely focused on national issues, but the assembly elections will present a different scenario.

Due to delay in assembly elections, the public is now eager for the elections, as many of their concerns remain resolved, the statement said.

Azad also pointed out the lack of developmental work, which has further intensified the demand for timely elections and effective governance.

He reaffirmed his commitment to honesty and transparency, declaring that he will never mislead or lie to the people and said, “My mission is centered on promoting development and peace for the people of J&K.”

He further said, “Lok Sabha elections were based on a national narrative, where people fell victim to false propaganda and exploitation but received nothing in return. In the assembly elections, local issues must be the focus.”

“The development we initiated must continue. People are innocent, and the parties only engage in politics based on religion and caste, which ultimately harms the public,” said Azad, adding, “our focus should be on development, peace, and the return of our rights- Job and land, including statehood.”

The party leaders as per the statement urged Azad to take a strong against the parties who exploit innocent people and spread false allegations.

They expressed their readiness to prepare for the upcoming assembly elections with the aim of forming the next government.
