Let the people of J&K breathe… Engineer Rashid said something big amidst the results.
The results of the three-phase elections for 90 seats in Jammu and Kashmir will be announced on Tuesday. Assembly elections have been held in Jammu and Kashmir after 10 years. Now it will be clear which party will rule Jammu and Kashmir. Before the formation of the government, Awami Ittehad Party president and MP Sheikh Abdul Rashid alias Engineer Rashid made a demand from the new government.
Engineer Rashid said that power is not a permanent thing. Governments come and go, whenever someone sits on the throne, he thinks that I will never leave. I request that Jammu and Kashmir is not an ordinary state. On one side there is Pakistan and on the other side, there is China. The eyes of the world are on us, people are watching us. So be kind to the people of Kashmir and let them live, let them breathe, give them their rights, and consider them as humans. Do not make it a Hindu-Muslim issue. Look at it as a human being.
He further said that the issue of Kashmir is such that India claims Pok and Pakistan claim East India. If Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar is going to Islamabad, then he should not go just for a tour and should not deceive the world that he has gone to the Shanghai Conference. He should do some good work behind the scenes for the peace of Kashmir. And he should contest elections on issues that talk about development, education, and other things.
“Where there is killing”
Abdul Rashid did not stop here, he further said that where there is violence, where one lakh people have slept in graves for 35-37 years, where thousands of families have fled to Pakistan, what will you talk about politics there? Therefore, my request to everyone is that whoever forms the government in Jammu and Kashmir, should work as a bridge between the people of Jammu and Kashmir and New Delhi, so that our problems end.
