SRINAGAR: The ideologies and principles that Indians believe in and due to which the country is united, are under threat, the Opposition’s presidential nominee Meira Kumar claimed today adding that she has asked MPs and MLAs to vote according to their conscience.

While seeking support from the National Conference (NC), Congress and independent legislators in her bid to get elected to the country’s highest office, Kumar said the opposition wanted to make the poll – an election of principles.

“These are the principles which are close to my heart and to the hearts of most of the people of this country. India is united because we believe in these principles. There are so many religions in the country, so many cultures, ideologies and languages, but despite that, the country is united only because of these principles,” she said. (AGENCIES)
