Jammu, Nov 29: Democratic Azad Party chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad on Tuesday said politics based on religion has “deeply harmed” the country and asked the voters to check the track record of every candidate and his party before casting their ballots to defeat the “divisive” elements.
He termed the prevailing trend of infusing religious divide for political gains by some parties as “unfortunate” and challenged them to debate with him on developmental issues.
“Religious politics has deeply harmed our country and people have suffered with no progressive roadmap available ahead,” Azad said addressing a public meeting at Kastigarh in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Asking the people to reject divisive politics, he said they should vote for candidates and parties on the basis of development.
