He said that it is happy that the election is being held here but it is sad that the election issues have not changed. Even today schools and education are not an issue but Islam is in danger… this is the issue. Azad said there are 98 percent Muslims. There the opposition says Islam is in danger. DPAP leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who fought bravely for Article 370, participated in a roadshow at the new sumo stand in Ganderbal. There he also talked about Article 370.

I thought the issues would change in this election but unfortunately the issues did not. He said that even now he is hearing the same slogans raised during the elections during his college days. Roads, schools and education are not the problem, but Islam is at risk. This is definitely an issue. How can Islam be in danger, he said. Ghulam Nabi Azad said there is no threat to the 5 percent Muslims there either. He said he opposes BJP because it divides people on the basis of religion, but here too people are doing the same. This means that they are also dividing people in the name of religion, he said. Also Read- JK Assembly Elections: No mention of Article 370 in Congress manifesto, why NC silent on voice issue?
