This happens in only in Kashmir
Srinagar: As the polling was held in Srinagar Lok Sabha seat on Wednesday, the statements contrary to each one continue to pour in both from the separatist as well as the mainstream camp.
With the separatist leaders lauding people for boycotting the polls, the mainstream here is thankful to the people for voting in their favour. Also the administration expresses satisfaction that the polling day ended peacefully with the people fearlessly moving towards the polling booths.
The situation of such nature could be witnessed only in Kashmir when people are being congratulated for both boycotting and their participation in elections at the same time. During the afternoon hours all the factions of the Huriyat conference issued their respective detailed statements wherein they have hailed the efforts of people in making the boycott cal successful. They also through their statements maintained that today’s boycott must act as an eye opener for the international community about the aspirations of the people of Kashmir at large.
Contrary to this, the mainstream camp here also followed the suit with the different wording. They rather hailed the courage of the people for coming out in open to cast their votes. Pro-establishment parties were also thankful to the people for voting in their favour. (KNS)
