People will vote in large numbers for J&K statehood restoration: Cong leader Mir
Congress general secretary Ghulam Ahmad Mir on Wednesday said the people of Jammu and Kashmir will come out to vote in large numbers to seek restoration of statehood and their rights.
Mir, who is contesting the polls from the Dooru Assembly segment in this south Kashmir district, said the intent behind voting is to change "Delhi's rule" in Jammu and Kashmir.
"I cast my vote intending to change Delhi's rule on the people of J&K for the last 10 years. Today's biggest aim is that J&K should prosper and the people feel happy," Mir told PTI after casting his vote.
He said through the power of the vote, the people of Jammu and Kashmir would seek the restoration of statehood and protection of their land and jobs.
"The people are going to vote to seek the restoration of their land and job rights as well as for the restoration of statehood, and I feel people will come out in large numbers to vote," he said.
