"How can a party which changes its stance with every changing season be trusted to fight for the interests of the people of J&K. It is obvious that the NC is bailing the BJP led Central Government out not just nationally but internationally as well by giving legitimacy to delimitation exercise. Their history is a testament to the fact that they are willing to go to any extent and compromise the interests of the people of Kashmir for the sake of power. It is time that the people of Kashmir, especially the youth to lead this movement of change", he said.

Now this government wants to shift power from the majority to the minority, which is totally against the federal structure of the country", he added.
