Hurriyat launches anti-poll campaign

The All-Parties Hurriyat Conference on Tuesday launched an anti-election campaign in Jammu and Kashmir.

"The so-called elections cannot be an alternative to the right of self-determination and the people should reject the frivolous elections, aimed at formation of a government, and remove all impediments in the way of the ongoing struggle for the cause of their future," Hurriyat executive member Maulana Mohammed Abbas Ansari told a public meeting at Nabadnara in Budgam district.

Ansari asked the people to remain united and strong and thwart any attempt to "weaken and malign" the Hurriyat, which he said was their representative body.

He said, "[The] Kashmir issue has attained importance at the international level and it is being viewed and discussed very seriously. As such people are duty-bound to foil attempts of those who betray the blood of martyrs."

He urged all peace-loving countries to ask India to initiate a dialogue to resolve the Kashmir issue.
