The Peoples Democratic Party's Srinagar candidate on Saturday appealed to Kashmir's youngsters to consider the Lok Sabha election as a "referendum" to send to New Delhi a message about their "dissatisfaction" with the Centre's decisions post August 2019.
Waheed Parra, who is also the youth wing chief of the PDP, said there is a need to send a message "that you [New Delhi] should not accept the silence of Kashmir as its acceptance".
He told reporters during an election campaign at HMT in the city's outskirts, "I think the main aim and issue of this election, especially for us, is not about who is against us. The people in Srinagar, especially the youngsters of Kashmir, should not consider these elections as less than a referendum."
