NC’s Political Vision Etched With Welfare Of people:  Farooq Abdullah

SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Farooq Abdullah on Sunday asked people to unite against the divisive forces, trying to disenfranchise people of their identity, land and resources.

Farooq Abdullah was addressing party functionaries in a commemorative function held at Khannabal, Anantnag on the 8th death anniversary of the party veteran Khawaja Abdul Gani Shah Veeri.

Dr Farooq said, “I see no way of achieving anything in JK without a lasting unity between different sections of our society. Unity in diversity must be our creed to last for all times and under all circumstances, otherwise there is no end in sight to our common problems in the shape of poverty, unemployment.”

He said that NC’s political vision is etched with the welfare of people and protecting the political, social and cultural interests of the diverse sections of JK’s society from all regions and religions, adding, “They might try to foist more political parties on the people through clandestine and covert machinations to fragment our voice. We all should be cautious of such trojan horses meant to weaken us internally and to launch an assault on our resolve to fight for JK’s political dignity and rights.”

“National Conference has rendered innumerable sacrifices to fight for the unity, integrity and dignity of Jammu and Kashmir and will continue to thwart all attempts to erode our unique individuality both cultural and political. We will fight against all ploys; the battle we are fighting requires us to remain,” he added.
