Leaders said that today pro India parties and their leaders fearing the strength of boycott have started a malicious campaign against the boycott call. They are propagating that this boycott is benefitting some and harming some pro India parties. We want to tell them all that elections held under the Indian constitution are in every case harmful for the nation of Kashmir and people who contest and take part in these are nothing but stooges of India and they are the handle of Indian axe that is and has been crushing and killing Kashmiris. Leaders said, that for freedom lovers, it hardly matters who is a beneficiary and who is loser. For the people of Jammu Kashmir all these pro India parties and leaders are same and their job is to harm the interests of Kashmiris. Leaders appealed the people that they should remember the mission and sacrifices of innocent martyrs and boycott these elections because boycotting Indian elections is the need of the hour to safeguard our national interests.
