The State Times: Darakhshan speaks at R S Pura

Aasiya Andrabi is anti-India,

I am proud to be daughter of India: Dr Darakhshan Andrabi

ST NEWS SERVICER.S PURA -- 20th July:

Socialistic Democratic Party (SDP) organised public chain of rallies. Speaking on this occasion, SDP nominee for the ensuing Assembly elections in the constituency, Surendra Bhagat said that it was very unfortunate that R.S Pura constituency always being represented by the ministers remained economically backward and unattended. He added that this Assembly segment gave Mufti Mohammad Sayeed his first win in elections and he also despite becoming Chief Minister of the State did nothing for this economically backward area of the State. He promised the people that if elected to power, he will attend to grievances of the public like their servant. SDP President, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi, while speaking in the occasion said frightened and scared by SDP increasing popularity in the area, the political opponents finding nothing concrete for criticism spread rumours that Andrabi is the sister of militant supporter Dukhtaran Chief Aasiya Andrabi. But all who know me although laugh at this baseless allegation of theirs. There is and can never be any relation with such a mindset. “She is anti-India and I am proud to be Dukhtar-e-Hind, the daughter of India,” said Dr Andrabi. Those politicians who live only on shouting about human rights violations in the State by the security forces keep mum when they see innocent civilians being killed and wounded by militants in broad day light. She flayed mainstream politics like Omar Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti, Prof Bhim Singh and others for advocating for militants.
