Bandipora, Dec 29, KDC: Former MLA Bandipora and JKAP Vice President Usman Majid on Tuesday said that the decision of Election Commission to stop the vote counting of two PoK candidates in North Kashmir is by no means a good decision, Election Commission (EC) should immediately start the counting process for both the seats.
Talking to news agency Kashmir Dot Com-(KDC), Usman Majid said, “PoK is an integral part of this country, of which the resolution has also been passed in the Parliament of India. I don’t understand what provoked the EC to stop the vote count on both the seats. If the documents of these candidates were incomplete then how did the EC accept their nominations and issued them the polling symbols.”
Usman said that people have voted in favour of these candidates, adding that he is hopeful that ECI will show a positive approach towards the issue and and will start the vote count process on both the seats soon.
While lashing out at the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) Usman said its leaders have always indulged in politics of exploitation, adding that Gupkar leaders should refrain from playing double standards.
“If a person joins the alliance of PAGD then it is good and if the same person joins Apni Party then it is horse trading. This is how Gupkar leaders are playing double standards,” he added. (KDC)
