Kupwara December 12:(KNS) J&K Peoples Conference today regretted the partisan approach of District Administration Kupwara for repeatedly denying permission to the party for organizing a convention while facilitating other parties in holding public gatherings. 

According to a statement issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS) reads, "It is highly unfortunate that repeated requests by JKPC to hold a convention in Kupwara are denied due to COVID concerns while other parties are facilitated & allowed a free hand to hold public rallies. We urge @dckupwara to avoid partisan approach in enforcing COVID protocols", J&K Peoples Conference tweeted from their official account. 

PC General Secretary Imran Reza Ansari also questioned the rationale behind denying permission to the PC while allowing other parties to hold gatherings. 

"I am in wonderment. In the context of Omicron, DC Kupwara has no problems in allowing other parties to hold rallies. But what covid protocol has DC Kupwara hidden from the scientific community which warranted denial of holding rally by our party just a week back. Permission denied 3 times", he said.(KNS)
