Rasheed terms election result ‘encouraging’
Says no one can stop AIP from becoming alternative to regional parties
Srinagar: Even as ending up losing the the Lok Sabha election, AIP President Er Rasheed has said that the election results were “much encouraging for AIP and no one on earth can stop AIP from becoming alternative to NC, PDP and other regional parties”.
In a statement issued after the election result, Rasheed said “The spirit of democracy needs to be respected and all those who have won the elections deserve congratulations. However AIP has proved all political analyses wrong and has shown excellent performance by improving its performance beyond imagination”.
“Those who used to accuse AIP of dividing votes should realize that party was not there to divide votes but to give a befitting fight despite all compulsions and the results have proved all those forces wrong who claimed to be lone warriors of Kashmiris,” Rasheed said.
Thanking AIP cadres, Rasheed said that his party was “thankful to every single voter and party colleagues who voted and worked for an ideology and have laid a strong foundation stone for the future”.
AIP, he said, “promises to follow its pro-people agenda with consistency and sincerity”.
“One should not forget that AIP decided at the eleventh hour to contest the elections and without a proper cadre the party volunteers succeeded in sending a deep message to the masses that AIP has the potential to replace those who have given Kashmiris nothing except disappointments and false promises,” Rasheed added.
He asked people to join AIP “and become part of a change which will not only ensure a leadership that represents sentiments, sacrifices and aspiration of masses but will also give them best and corruption free governance”.
