PDP’s Srinagar Seat Candidate Waheed Parra Pledges To Break ‘Silence & Suffocation’ in Kashmir

In an interview with Mojo Story Waheed Parra PDP's candidate for the Srinagar seat said elections in Kashmir will help to break the stifling silence and political vacuum that has gripped the region for too long. He said the election seeks to end this suffocating cycle through the ballot, aiming to heal the wounds of the people and restore their voice in governance.

In the wake of Article 370's abrogation, Parra criticized what he sees as a heavy-handed approach by authorities and called for the people to reclaim their agency by voting. He underscored the PDP's commitment to unity but expressed disappointment over the lack of consultation when the National Conference named its candidates.

Within the PDP, Parra acknowledged internal challenges, including the departure of 40 members due to what he claims pressure on party cadres. However, he clarified that the election isn't about rivalry with the National Conference. #elections2024 #kashmirnews #kashmir
