‘We will welcome people who have unblemished record’: Shah Faesal

Jammu, (PTK): Former IAS officer and founder of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples’ Movement (JKPM) Shah Faesal said his party would be the biggest platform for the youth, but will keep its doors open for politicians having “unblemished record”.

Faesal, along with other senior party leaders including former PDP minister Javaid Mustafa Mir, reached Jammu on a three-day visit Saturday to garner support and inform the people about the vision of the party which was launched in Srinagar on March 21.

“We have talked to the people of Kashmir and have come here with a message of brotherhood, collectivity and to meet future and present leadership. It is a new political experiment where we talk about giving justice to the people of all the regions without any consideration for the region, colour, creed and caste,” Faesal told reporters after addressing a gathering here.

A man among the audience tried to intercept Mir’s speech earlier and raised the issue of his welcome into the party fold.

“Why he (Mir) was taken into the party fold when you are speaking of new thinking and the party being an alternative to the traditional political parties,” the man, hailing from Doda, was heard saying, leading to a brief exchange of words between him and Mir. (PTK)
