Jammu Kashmir Election Peoples Conference chief Sajad Lone Claimed There may be rigging in J&K polls Situations like 1987 may arise again


Jammu Kashmir Assembly Election 2024: The first round of voting is on 19 September 2020 in Jammu and Kashmir. However, a political controversy has also raised its head in the valley. This controversy has been fueled. People’s Conference chief Sajjad Lone claims that the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections may be rigged. Can the situation like 1987 arise again? What happened in the valley in 1987? And why is the 1987 assembly election considered extremely controversial?

It is said that this election changed the fate of Jammu and Kashmir. It was only after this election that guns entered the valley. In fact, on Monday (16 September 2024), People’s Conference chief Sajjad Lone claimed that an attempt is being made to repeat the 1987 elections by interfering in the election process. No one should think that he will suppress the voice of Kashmir.

How much truth is there in Sajjad Lone’s claim?

Expert Rashid Rahil says that, as far as we have seen, there was a wave in 1987. There was some problem in the government of Muslim United Front at that time. In which there were independent candidates. The youth who contested the elections or their supporters had taken up guns. Sajjad Lone is saying that 1987 will be repeated again. I don’t think such circumstances exist, today the same people are participating in the elections. However, before this, along with Sajjad Lone, National Conference, PDP and Congress have also accused of influencing the elections in the valley.

How was the Jamaat faction in 1987?

Expert Rashid Rahil said, ‘There was a group of 12 Jamaats. Jamaat-e-Islami was being led by Mohammad Yusuf Shah. It is said that he had won the election. That is why it is being said that there was no such election as is happening today. 190 independent candidates are trying their luck in the first two phases of Jammu Kashmir? Rashid Rahil says that I think politics has now become a business.

Sheikh Abdullah had said that an Abdullah will emerge from every house. Today candidates are emerging from every area, it is good for democracy, anyone can contest. This time also people are joining hands with Jamaat-e-Islami. Actually, voting was to be held in the valley on March 23, 1987. Muslim United Front was hoping that it would win. But the results were reversed.

Can 1987 be repeated?

On this, Rashid Rahil says, now this is not going to happen, because, the youth has understood that the battle has to be fought with a box and not with a gun. That means the valley is on the path of peace. That is why the youth are aware, they understand. The solution will not come from the gun but from the EVM box.
