RAMBAN, Apr 1: National Conference (NC) leader and district president Ramban Sajjad Shaheen today said that the emergence of new political parties in Jammu & Kashmir was aimed at dividing the people particularly in the Valley, saying that these attempts are aimed at dividing the people and getting enough seats for a particular party so that they can form the next Government in J&K and put a stamp on August 5, 2019 decision to weaken “our case in the Apex Court’.
Addressing a day-long meeting of Party’s working committee of Banihal block held in Party’s central office in Banihal, Shaheen called upon the party workers to stand united as the State is going through very difficult times where on one hand, people of the State are being pushed against the wall and on the other hand, conspiracies are being hatched to vitiate communal harmony in the State.
He said a decisive battle is needed to be fought against divisive forces, who have taken central stage by exploiting regional and religious sentiments to further their myopic and nefarious political agenda. He said that the workers of NC are epitome of sacrifice and selfless service who have always withstood all challenges and proven their loyalty towards party and people, at every crucial juncture.
Shaheen further said that the party’s objective has never been power but dignity, honour of the State and its people. He exhorted the party workers to strengthen National Conference at grassroots level and maintain peace and harmony, saying that attempts are on to divide the people and the Delimitation report of the newly constituted commission was part of the process to pitch one community again the other.
Other prominent leaders who spoke on the occasion include district senior vice president Mohd Afzal Wani, Saif-Ud-Din Dar, Parvez Ahmed Sheikh and Block president Haji Abdul Ahad Shan.
