Srinagar, Mar 10 (UNI) Alleging that not holding assembly elections alongwith parliamentary polls in Jammu and Kashmir confirms sinister design of Government of India (GoI), president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday evening said it is a tactic of buying time to disempower people by pushing an agenda that suits their ulterior motives.

Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter , she said “ Decision to hold only Parliamentary elections in J&K confirms sinister designs of GoI. Not letting people elect a government is anti-ethical to the very idea of democracy. Also a tactic of buying time to disempower people by pushing an agenda that suits their ulterior motives.”
