Terming it a futile exercise, All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front and other groups announced boycott of Held Kashmir elections announced by India on Sunday. APHC Chairman Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, asking the people to stay away from this exercise said Kashmiris have nothing to do with this meaningless exercise.
He said India is not focusing on settlement of Kashmir dispute, which is a real issue, rather it is trying to give impression as Kashmir is an administrative problem. He said elections were held in the past but without any result. The present exercise will also prove to be a meaningless.
