I am still hopeful that we covered the ground at large,\u201d said Mir. He also maintained that it is wrong to state that all his supporters voted against Shareef-u-din Shariq, the coalition candidate for Baramulla constituency. \u201cThere are a number of DPN supporters who voted for NC-Congress candidate. \u00a0We have to understand that my people have always stood against NC during the polls in Tangmarg and we could have only appealed people to vote, we cannot hold them by their collar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pertinently, Mir ahead of polls had told KNS that he is the part of the coalition government and will always support any candidate of the alliance. \u201cI will support Mr Shariq as he is the candidate of Congress-NC alliance. We have no second thoughts to it that we will emerge victorious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr Farooq at Baramulla while addressing workers had also sought forgiveness from Mir asking him not to keep any grudge against NC and support the party so that the \u2018nation could be saved\u2019. Shariq had also stated that the agriculture minister Ghulam Hassan Mir was working hard to transfer his votes in NC\u2019s favor. He had stated that Mir has been holding rallies in his constituency from the last so many days and trying to make NC win possible in North Kashmir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018My people in past have always stood against NC\u2019 Srinagar:\u00a0Democratic Party Nationalist (DPN) and Agriculture minister Ghulam Hassan Mir\u00a0Thursday\u00a0while commenting over the elections held in Tangmarg during the parliamentary polls in North Kashmir on May 7 stated that it was difficult for him to transfer his votes in NC\u2019s favor. \u201cIt was as difficult for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-union-territory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2358\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
