In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), pro-India People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on its 22nd Foundation Day launched mem-bership drive and welcomed the newly nominated office-bearers of the party.
Addressing the gathering on this occasion, PDP vice president, Abdul Hameed Choudhary said: “We have to re-dedicate ourselves to the guiding princi-ples and ethos of PDP which is to advocate, facili-tate and struggle for resolution through dialogue and reconciliation, peace with dignity & equitable de-velopment.
He claimed that “illegal & unconstitutional” ac-tions of August 5, 2019 have only added to the complexities of J&K issue whereby those with full faith in the democratic and constitutional mecha-nism of India have been deeply hurt and they feel betrayed.
PAC Member Advocate Anil Sethi while ad-dressing the gathering said: “Slowly and steadily, the implications of such decisions on the identity, economic, land, resources and jobs are becoming more pronounced and we would struggle uncom-promisingly, using all peaceful, democratic and constitutional means for the restoration of the rights and identity of the people of J&K.—KMS
