Predicting rout of anti-people forces in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections, Sr Vice President, J&K National Conference and MLA Mr Surjeet Singh Slathia on Sunday exhorted the people to vote for the alliance candidates and repose their faith in secular polity in Jammu and Kashmir.Addressing election rallies at Trait Basti , Rajpur Koular and Palli in Vijaypur Assembly Constituency, the former minister described these elections as a decisive battle between communal and secular forces, saying the latter will ultimately triumph with massive mass support.Mr Slathia referred to the dubious machinations being employed by BJP and PDP to remain relevant in the elections and said their unholy nexus will not succeed in breaking the will of the people who have decided to give a befitting reply to those playing with their sentiments.

The senior NC leader urged the people to vote for Mr Madan Lal Sharma, saying this will be endorsement of the policies and programmes of National Conference that has steered the state to peace, progress and tranquility. He also referred to the glorious traditions of co-existence and tolerance nurtured by Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah and  single-mindedly being pursued by the party under the able stewardship of Dr Farooq Abdullah and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.Mr Slathia asked BJP and PDP not to venture for vitiating the atmosphere by hoodwinking public opinion, saying this will lead them nowhere “Communal politics has no place in a state that has been abode of the people belonging to different faiths, who have been living in harmony”, he said, adding that irrational and pisive forces have always got a befitting reply in all the three regions.
