Srinagar, May 11 (KNS): The Jammu and Kashmir People's Conference (JKPC) today expressed its deep concern and disappointment over the recent notice served by the Election Commission targeting a song shared by PC President Sajad Gani Lone on Twitter.
"The video in question is not an official song of the party but rather a creation by Kashmiri youth. It embodies the heartfelt sentiments of the Kashmiri people, vividly portraying the enduring pain and suffering experienced in the region over decades. We firmly believe that sharing such a song, which reflects the painful history of the region, should not be seen as a violation of electoral norms," stated PC Spokesperson Adnan Ashraf Mir.
He further urged the Election Commission to apply the rules uniformly and desist from selective scrutiny and that fairness and equality are indispensable in preserving the integrity of the electoral process.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
“It is disconcerting to observe a pattern where the Election Commission singles out our party for scrutiny while displaying leniency towards others. We firmly assert that mistakes of the past, such as those in 1987, characterized by biased approaches of the administration, should not be repeated. A level playing field must be extended to all political entities without prejudice. The Election Commission must avoid disparate treatment of political parties. Rules applied to JKPC should be uniformly applied to all political entities, including the NC", he added.(KNS)
