Srinagar, October 11, 2018 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, the Joint Resistance Leadership has said that people have again rejected the sham local bodies’ elections by staging boycott and observing protest shutdown during the second phase of the poll drama, yesterday.
The JRL comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik in a statement issued in Srinagar said, “The only purpose behind this highly manipulated and authoritarian exercise is, as always, fudging facts and figures to sell to the outside world the myth of Indian democracy at work in J and K and people’s so-called participation in it, hence to push back the narrative of J and K’s disputed status and the need for its resolution.”
“Let India try all the tricks and artful ploys… the fact of the matter is that J and K was, is, and will remain a dispute till it is addressed as per the political sentiments and aspirations of its people.” “People’s slogan is clear: No to all election, only right of self-determination,” the JRL said.
