Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri, Chairman of UKPNP said, 'Elections are part of political process and people of Jammu and Kashmir should support this in order to strengthen and promote democracy and human rights'.
He said, 'elections do not substitute plebiscite and people must not be swayed by propaganda of anti people and anti democracy elements who want to spread communalism and hatred'.
Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri, was speaking at a reception organised by London unit of PNP in honour of leaders of Kashmir National Party, Abbas Butt and Dr Shabir Chaudhry.
He said, 'People of Jammu and Kashmir should fully participate in these elections to elect their members that they can help people to resolve their everyday problems'.
Abbas Butt, Chairman of KNP said those who oppose elections are not well wishers of the people. Their aim is to destabilise democratic process and cause destruction and chaos. These leaders who are opposing elections are not true representatives of the people. They know if they contest elections they will lose and that is another reason why they don't want to take part in the elections.
KNP Spokesman Dr Shabir Chaudhry said, there is no military solution to the dispute and militancy has only added to the problems of the people. He said the only way forward is dialogue and confidence building measures, which will help people to create conducive environment that they can decision on the future of the State. He said people of Jammu and Kashmir must have a final say on the future of the State.
