Srinagar, February 26

Jammu and Kashmir People’s Conference (JKPC) chief Sajad Lone would contest the forthcoming Parliamentary polls from north Kashmir’s Baramulla constituency, the party announced on Monday. However, the party has not named any candidate from the other two constituencies of the Kashmir region.

“It is with great pleasure I formally announce that Sajad Lone has acceded to the demand of the party. He will be the candidate of the party from Baramulla Parliamentary seat,” the party’s senior general secretary, Imran Reza Ansari, said while making the announcement.

He said based on his discussion with the party leaders, they decided to fight and field Lone from the Baramulla Parliamentary seat.

“For Baramulla Parliamentary seat, the leadership and the rank and file of the party have overwhelmingly endorsed the candidature of our party president Sajad Gani Lone,” Ansari said.

The PC leader said his party wishes Lone the best and believes that the fiercest speeches on the floor of the parliament, advocating the “just cause of our people will finally be delivered by Sajad Lone after a painful wait of seven decades.”

“In response to the duty assigned to me by the party to hold discussions with party leaders, and ascertain the best possible way forward in the upcoming Parliamentary elections, I have had extensive discussions over the past two weeks. I met all constituency heads and block-level leaders,” Ansari said.

“The people of J&K will finally get the chance to roar,” Ansari said.
