‘Will vote vigorously for North as well’
Srinagar: The state Congress chief Professor Saif-ud-din Soz Monday said that Congress in all the three Lok Sabha seats of valley vigorously supported NC candidates and that the party is confidant to sweep all seats here.
We have been continuously campaigning for the NC candidates at large in valley and have not left any stone unturned to transfer Congress votes in NC favor, Soz told KNS over phone from North Kashmir’s Bandipora- where he said to have campaigned for Shariq whole day.
Coming out in support of the Congress minister Ghulam Ahmad Mir, Soz stated Mir’s recent statement was quoted out of context. “Mir stated that he was expecting much number and the number would be bit lesser. The press quoted him out of context.”
Ridiculing the claims made by some quarters that Congress vote failed to get transferred in NC favor in south Kashmir on April 24, Soz stated that the claims of such nature would have been the personal opinions and that the fact is widespread that every Congress man voted for NC in valley.
Over the issue of the students being reportedly thrashed in Noida, Soz stated that he would first verify the facts from the credible authority and till then his comments over the controversy may deem reserved. “Let me verify the facts first. I have to confirm what really has happened at Noida, and then only I will be in a position to give remarks over the issue.”
Also in the past, National Conference party president Dr. Farooq Abdullah had Congress votes were transferred effectively to National Conference candidates in the Anantnag Parliamentary segment as Congress leaders there worked with utmost honesty and dedication to ensure that the NC-Congress coalition candidates win with large margins. He added that the same “cooperation and mutual trust” would be seen in the Baramulla Parliamentary segment as well. (KNS)
