Senge Hasnan Sering, a prominent political activist from Gilgit-Baltistan has commended India for holding assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, citing increased voter turnout as a sign of hope and progress.
In an interview with ANI in Geneva, Sering emphasised the growing interest among locals, pointing to a turnout of nearly 59 percent during the first phase of assembly elections.
Comparing this to the dismal turnout of 10-20 percent in elections held two decades ago in J&K, Sering described the current figures as a major shift.
“This shows that local people have hope–hope that they will eventually govern their land, resources, and make decisions within India’s constitutional framework,” he stated.
He further highlighted that the elections were conducted with the full constitutional rights and guarantees offered to the people of Jammu, Kashmir, allowing them to participate as equal citizens of India. (ANI)
