Various teams, led by senior NC functionaries visited various camps and non-camps, interacted with the electors and held door to door campaign while highlighting the crucial role played by N C from time to time to isolate communal and reactionary forces and to safeguard the interests of Kashmiri Pandits.

He referred to the lofty ideals of Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah and said his cherished slogan of ‘Hindu Muslim Sikh Itehad’ will always remain a guiding force for the party.
Dhar also referred to the initiatives taken during the tenure of Dr Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah as Chief Minister to improve the living conditions of migrants by raising tenements, providing jobs, enhancing relief and getting sanctioned posts under Prime Minister’s package.
M K Yogi decried the PDP led Government for putting into back-burner the crucial recruitment process, saying the eligible youth were made to run helter-skelter for jobs during the past two years.
Yogi criticized the coalition government for depriving migrants of all important health-cover and delaying the renovation of various camp dwelling units that had potential of putting the safety of dwellers into jeopardy.
