Omar warns against divisive narrative; says need to protect secular co-existence

JAMMU: Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today warned people against a divisive narrative and asserted that the future would be defined by efforts of the present generation to protect secular co- existence.

In his message read out at a day-long seminar ‘Bridging the Divide’ organised here by the Epilogue magazine, Abdullah expressed concern over the “increasingly acrid and divisive narrative” that stands to question the fundamental rights of equality and the dignity of human life irrespective of caste, creed, region or religion, guaranteed by the Constitution.

The Leader of the Opposition in J&K said that serious challenges were confronting not only the State but the nation at large. (AGENCIES)
