India: Second Phase Voting Concludes In Union Territory Of J&K

<p>From the infamous terror hub of Soibug in Budgam district to the stone-pelting epicentre, Nowhatta area of Srinagar, the Kashmir Valley has witnessed a huge surge in voting. Areas like these earlier used to completely boycott elections, with hardly 2-3 per cent of votes being cast,&nbsp;but this assembly election, the ground realities seem to have changed completely in Jammu and Kashmir.</p>

<p>Soibug area in Budgam is where Syed Sallahuddin, the Pakistan-based chief of the United Jihad Council and Hizbul Mujahideen terror outfit, is said to have been born. On Wednesday, hundreds of voters turned up at the polling booths, including the ones in Soibug area.</p>

<p>These areas, which were earlier dominated by terrorists and separatist ideologies, have witnessed a major shift from election boycott to casting of ballot.</p>

<p>National Conference leader and former chief minister, Omar Abdullah, is among the 22 candidates in fray from Budgam district.</p>

<p>''We are thankful for these elections, as a lot of them have proven that they were betraying us, by announcing in mosques and Jamia Masjids to stay away from polls. They ruined our children and now suddenly they have started believing in the elections, they are even fighting. Some said that their parents are in jails, and they are fighting for their release, but now they are fighting again in assembly elections betraying our trust," said&nbsp;Abdul Gani Malik, a local.</p>

<p>Srinagar City has witnessed low turnouts in all the polls in the last four decades. The downtown areas, like the Jama Masjid of Nowhatta were known as stone-pelting epicentres with a boycott call every Friday. But in sharp contrast, long queues of people were seen at major polling booths in the city&nbsp;on Wednesday, marking&nbsp;a significant surprising&nbsp;shift from the previous times.</p>

<p>''We are out to vote as we want our own minister and MLA. What happened in 2019, like 370 was revoked, that is why we have come out in huge numbers. There used to be boycotts here but people have realised that we want our representative. People now know how important it is. Jammu and Kashmir is being run by LG for so long, that's why we are out to vote. This is a place where everyone was scared to vote. If someone would have voted, he would live in fear afterwards, but now everyone has realised the importance,"&nbsp;said Tariq Ahmad, a local.</p>

<p>The Ministry of External Affairs also brought a high-level delegation of senior diplomats from multiple countries,&nbsp;including&nbsp;the USA, Mexico, Guyana, South Korea, Somalia, Panama, Singapore, Nigeria, Spain, South Africa, Norway, Tanzania, Rwanda, Algeria, and Philippines,&nbsp;to witness the electoral process in Jammu and Kashmir.

<p>''We are interested in India's process of ensuring that peace and stability are the norm here in Jammu and Kashmir. If all goes well, statehood is possible. We were invited by MEA and we are delighted to see the process," said a diplomat.</p>

<p>In the second phase of the assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir, over 25.78 lakh voters sealed the fate of 239 candidates in fray for 26 assembly constituencies.

<p>For the first time in years, Türkiye President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has skipped the mention of Kashmir during his annual address at the United National General Assembly.&nbsp;Erdogan has been regularly, in some form or another, mentioning Kashmir since 2019, when India removed the special status for the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated it into two union territories.</p>

<p>In 2023, he called for the "establishment of a just and lasting peace in Kashmir through dialogue and cooperation between India and Pakistan".&nbsp;In 2022, he used the same phrase and regretted that "strong peace, and cooperation between India and Pakistan had still not yet been established, despite 75 years following their independence."</p>

<p>In 2021, he called for the "resolution" of Kashmir through UN resolutions, something he had said in 2020 as well.&nbsp;He was most vocal in 2019, and said that the "dispute must be resolved through dialogue on the basis of justice and fairness, rather than conflict."</p>

J&K Elections Indian PM Modi campaign for assembly polls in Jammu & Kashmir

<p>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday (Sep 14) held a political rally in the northern Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, where he declared that terrorism was on its “last breath” in the area. Addressing people from the Doda district, PM Modi vowed to free the state from dynastic politics.</p>

<p>"We and you together will make Jammu and Kashmir a secure and prosperous part of the country," he said.</p>

<p>PM Modi also criticised rival parties in the state, dubbing the upcoming assembly polls as a contest between three families — Congress, the National Conference (NC) and the People's Democratic Party (PDP) — and the youth of the region.</p>

<p>He promised more employment opportunities to the youth and pledged to make the UT a paradise for tourists.</p>

<p>The Indian PM declared his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will grant full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir if the party comes to power.</p>

<h2><strong>Congress launches attack</strong></h2>

<p>India’s main opposition Congress party was quick to fact check PM Modi’s big claim on terrorism, saying there had been “25 terror attacks in the Union territory” in the 98 days of his third term.</p>

<p>Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said, “Huge claims were made that after August 2019, peace will be established in Jammu and Kashmir. I will not talk about the time since 2014 or 2019, but it has been 98 days since Modi was sworn in. In the last 98 days, there have been 25 terror strikes in J-K in which 21 security personnel were martyred, while 28 others were injured."</p>
