Gurezi, Farooq Shah, others caution people against ‘falling prey to opportunistic politics of PDP, BJP their cronies’
SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference on Sunday continued its campaign for the Budgam by-elections, as senior party leaders Nazir Ahmad Khan Gurezi, Dr. Muhammad Shafi, Farooq Ahmad Shah, Syed Muhammad Yousuf, and G.N. Bhat reached out to people across several areas of the constituency, receiving an overwhelming and heartfelt response from the public.
The leaders cautioned people against “falling prey to the opportunistic politics” of the PDP, whose alliance with the BJP in 2015, they said, “opened the gates of betrayal laying the groundwork for the disempowerment and political subjugation that culminated in 2019”.
They recalled “how that unholy alliance dismantled the foundations of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and autonomy, setting into motion a series of events that altered the region’s destiny”.
Urging the public to remain vigilant, the leaders warned against “those now trying to wear new masks to mislead voters once again”, saying that the people of Budgam have always been known for their dignity, discernment, and devotion to truth — values that the National Conference continues to uphold with pride and conviction.
They emphasized that the ongoing campaign is not just about winning an election, but about restoring the people’s faith in representative politics and sending a resounding message of resistance against deceit and divisive agendas.
The campaign events witnessed enthusiastic participation from local leaders, party workers, and supporters, who pledged their unwavering commitment to strengthen the National Conference and carry forward its mission of dignity, empowerment, and truth.
