At that time who was raising the voice not for  article but for the people of Jammu Kashmir in national news channels ?

    Admitted :- I was the one who was Continuously raised the voice from Delhi but unfortunately non of your member of parliament raised any concern neither for article nor for the people so sad mational conference party leaders did not utter a single word ..

    When I return back in Jammu Kashmir from Delhi. I got booked by BJP government under section 124 and I was in jailed for 7 months but I did not loose hope and continue to raise voice…

    When I came out from jail immediately sit at jantar mantar and for hunger strikes and I even write a letter to the national conference party to support  but unfortunately non of you came forward to help and I Iwas continue to raising the voice  from jantar mantar for release the Political activist who were booked under PSA and UAPA and I was the alone warrior to raise the voice for Ulma-e- Deen like Dawoodi  Sahib and others Where were You Mr Abdullah??

    I came back again Jammu Kashmir and one FIR again lodged against me but beside this I never bent myself in front of anyone and continue to fight alone warrior and when the innocent get killed in Kupwara and Anantnag I was the one who get right behind those families who lost their everything.However non of the national conference leader come forward to support these family or even raise their voice Answer Mr Duo ?

Hope people of Jammu Kashmir will teach a strict lesson to the so called father son duo of national conference..
