ANANTNAG: Mehbooba Mufti, the president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, stressed the need of choosing a legislator who will represent the interests of the people in Parliament and compel New Delhi to reevaluate the choices made on August 5, 2019. She also emphasised how PDP has consistently fought for its supporters over the previous 22 years, no matter what the situation. Speaking at a public convention in Anantnag, South Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti emphasised that the current Lok Sabha elections offer a chance to select a representative who will effectively reflect the people’s issues instead of just emphasising the development of infrastructure.“Jammu and Kashmir is dealing with issues like growing unemployment, higher electricity rates, and power outages. Police are detaining youth based just on suspicion. Under such conditions, we require an outspoken and credible representative in Parliament who will genuinely represent the people’s aspirations,” Mehbooba said. She underlined the importance of choosing an elected official who will insist that New Delhi overturn the rulings from August 5, 2019, and reinstate the rights of the J&K people. “We need New Delhi to give back our rights plus interest. J&K residents are adamant about not becoming slaves. Mehbooba continued, “This is about sending a person to Parliament who will speak for the people and communicate their goals to the country, not just about NC or PDP.
