In real life, our state legislature and parliamentary representatives have historically been hand-picked in New Delhi, with comically rigged elections held afterwards so the government can pretend to go through the motions of "democracy."
Then you better ask Gilani Sahib who "hand picked"him for 15 years to state legislature. Anyway, tell me why would the militants warn people not to vote in elections? Sounds very strange that people who are suffering under the indian army are going to vote ...... now now you will say that they are forced to vote ....hmmm then why do militants have to issue dictats that anyone voting would be shot. Wouldn't the militants know that people are being forced to vote, so why are they threatning then not to vote !!!!!!
