National Conference Accused of Reneging on Promises in Kashmir

Srinagar: A prominent religious figure in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, Agha Syed Hadi, has accused the National Conference leadership of neglecting its pre-election promises after assuming power. He criticized the party for failing to advocate for the rights of Kashmiris and instead acting as a representative for Indian authorities.

According to a statement by Kashmir Media Service, Agha Hadi, speaking at an event in Srinagar, expressed his discontent with the National Conference’s shift in stance. He noted that the party, which had initially pledged to champion the rights of the Kashmiri people, was now offering excuses rather than addressing the issues.

Agha Hadi emphasized that the leaders, who were given a mandate by the Kashmiris to restore their rights and identity, are now claiming their inability to challenge the Indian government. He argued that if they cannot fulfill their promises, they should step down, allowing the Kashmiris to select new leadership.

Stressing the need for self-reliance in the struggle for rights, Agha Hadi highlighted that the retrieval of rights would not be granted voluntarily. Since 2014, and more prominently since 2019, he stated, policies have been directed at depriving Kashmiris of their rights, and reiterated the necessity of active resistance to reclaim them.
