SRINAGAR, Aug 7: National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah today chaired a meeting of the Party’s Media and Communication wing at the Party headquarters Nawa-e-Subha.
Exhorting the Party’s Social Media (SM) functionaries to enhance communication with constituents and build awareness around the Party’s initiatives, Omar said that the social media has risen to play a significant role in the communications strategies of the Party’s policies and programmes. “We should also use different social media platforms to keep the general public informed and updated about important issues and engage with them at a deeper level. Additionally, social media is an excellent space for campaign messaging,” he said.
Omar asked the functionaries to maintain utmost decency in virtual spaces by refraining from slander. “Our mission should be to highlight the achievements of our party. Dispel myths and garner support. We have to fight false propaganda with facts and figures. We have to show a mirror to the authorities and lend voice to the voiceless. I’m hopeful that the dedicated team of our media functionaries will keep up with their good work.”
The interactive session was convened and moderated by the Party’s chief spokesperson and communication incharge Tanvir Sadiq. The opening statement of the session was delivered by State spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar.
Party’s provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani, political advisor to vice-president Mudassar Shahmiri, provincial secretary Showkat Mir, provincial vice-president Ahsan Pardesi, YNC provincial president Salman Ali Sagar and additional spokesperson Sheikh Ovase also spoke on the occasion.
The Session witnessed extensive engagement involving all attendees, including the social media team, who provided updates on their current activities.
