Srinagar, Apr 08 (KNS): PDP President and former chief minister J&K Mehbooba Mufti Monday said that BJP is employing its full efforts to keep me away from the Parliament. She said I have always stood with my during odd times and am hopeful they will caste their votes in favor of PDP in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Speaking to reporters at Bijbehara in south Kashmir's Anantnag Mehbooba said that BJP who is hell bent to damage every institution of Jammu and Kashmir, is employing all its tactics to keep me away from the Parliament. "BJP is using its full might and resources to keep me away from the Parliament. They are well aware if I will reach to Parliament it will create troubles for them," Mehbooba Mufti as per KNS told reporters after visiting Late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's grave in Bijbehara.

"South Kashmir is my homeland and Bijbehara is my native area. Also my father' grave lies here. Whenever I feel in difficulties I visit here and offer Fatiha. I started my political career in 1996 when my Late father Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was along with me. Today in his absence there are manifold challenges emerged post-Abrogation of Article 370 and 35(A)," Mehbooba said.

To a query she replied that people are my hope and I anticipate they will turn in huge numbers in favor of PDP. "Be it south Kashmir or Pir Panchal region I always stood with my people in difficult times. Today our tribal community is in tough times, but I am hopeful they will not let me down," she said.

Mehbooba added, "After August 5, 2019 the present dispensation employed every method to break PDP which is the credible voice of people of Jammu and Kashmir always raise genuine concerns of people before the corridors of power. Today the ruling dispensation feels if Mehbooba Mufti reaches Parliament it will create hurdles in their designs, and thus they are using every tool to keep me away from the Parliament" (KNS)
