SRINAGAR: Dukhtaran-e-Millat Chairperson Aasiya Andrabi has urged the people of Indian-Held Kashmir (IHK) to completely boycott “the upcoming so-called Indian Parliamentary by-elections.” In a statement, Aasiya Andrabi said that in Islam, electing someone who challenges or changes or disagrees with the divine laws is polytheism (Shirk). The elections should be boycotted and a message should be given to the world that the sham elections are not an alternative to the plebiscite. She urged the mosques’ ulema across the valley to help people become aware of this sinister practice (elections). She added that the people who are elected to the Indian Parliament, not only disrespect the rule of Allah, but also help make laws used to kill, maim, blind and oppress the Muslims in occupied Kashmir. She said that earlier it was PDP and now NC and congress were coming at people’s doorstep and were claiming that they would address the Kashmir dispute if were voted into power. “These people are different sides of the same coin, they come with deceptive propaganda when they are not in power and once voted to power, all of them do only one thing: Kill, maim and oppress us,” she added.
