Srinagar: Majority of the netizens using social media Friday termed the complete rout of National Conference in Kashmir as ‘half-freedom’ for them. Users on facebook opined that the result would have been different if National Conference would not have crack down on general public. “I am happy that NC suffered humiliating defeat. It excites me to see this party in shambles. This party squeezed the liberty and blood of the Kashmiri youth,” a facebook user Syed Huda wrote. Another user Sajjad Ahmed wrote that it is an independence day for Kashmir. He was reacting to the comment made by another user Muhammad Shakir that Kashmir got half-freedom today and people are quite happy to see Dr Farooq Abdullah losing the ground. “National Conference government instead of concentrating on development and providing employment to youth, utilized all the resources to muzzle the voice of the youth. This government acted in an autocratic way to suppress the sentiments of people,” a user Muhammad Abbas posted on facebook. Another user Nazir Ahmed on Whatsapp group wrote, “Meter down for NC as this party shifted gear from ‘Meter hatawo, Heater Lagawo to Kon baney ga Prime Minister.” Some users wrote that they even don’t expect anything from People’s Democratic Party, but as compared to NC, PDP never acts in an autocratic manner. As counting for Srinagar seat was going on at snail’s pace and no official declaration was there, a number users wrote that they are eagerly waiting to listen the ‘good news’ about the defeat of Dr Farooq Abdullah. “Why anyone is not telling me that Farooq Abdullah has lost the Srinagar seat, I am eager to listen this good news as it will refresh my soul,” Aquib-ul-Islam reacted to a status on facebook.
