Srinagar: Sayar Ahmad Reshi, an independent candidate affiliated with Jamaat-e-Islami in the Kulgam assembly, recently said that a potential defeat in the upcoming election would not just be his loss but a setback for Islam itself, as reported by Kashmir Dot Com.
During a campaign rally on Thursday, Reshi said, “If, unfortunately, I do not succeed tomorrow, it won’t be seen as Sayar Ahmad’s defeat alone, but as a defeat for Islam.”
He stressed upon the religious implications, stating, “It will be perceived as a loss for the followers of Islam, those who call for prayer.”
