SRINAGAR, Sept 27: The National Conference President and Member of Parliament, Dr Farooq Abdullah today said that NC will fight for restoring J&K’s identity with a clear cut goal of safeguarding the aspirations of its pluralistic identities.
While addressing a gathering of party delegates from eight constituencies of district Srinagar at the party headquarters Nawa-e-Subha, Srinagar, Dr Farooq said that the party was fighting for safeguarding the interests of people of JK, Ladakh at various levels and need of the hour was to strengthen the party ranks to meet the challenges during the ongoing struggle.
Terming the unity, passion, awareness, and clarity as main ingredients for success, Dr Farooq said the plans of anti-Jammu & Kashmir forces has proved futile in wake of the huge support that the people of JK have posed in NC during the DDC elections.
“Our party delegates, workers, YNC, Women’s wing, minority, Pahari, and Gujjar Wings have to take on Anti-Jammu & Kashmir forces and take on a door to door campaign to dispel all ambiguities created by such forces who are hell-bent to divide us. These anti-Kashmir forces are working on a single mission to annihilate the National Conference from the political scene of Kashmir, but they are living in dreamscape. Having been shown their place in the DDC elections by the people of J&K democratically, these forces are now resorting to a smear campaign. Not even a day passes when they don’t speak of everything identified with JK’s identity, and historical individuality with venom in their voice. With each day we have these forces nosedive to newest lows. These forces are facing legitimacy crisis,” he added.
Describing NC as the only party in JK, Ladakh with an impregnable cadre, Farooq said the need of the hour is to strengthen the fortress of NC. “A strong NC fortress can only ensure that the vital democratic, cultural, economic and political interests are protected at all levels,” he added.
On the occasion, Farooq Abdullah congratulated Peer Afaq Ahmed for getting re-elected as the district president Srinagar for the fourth consecutive time.
NC General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar, Additional GS Sheikh Mustufa Kamal, Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani, Senior leaders Mubarak Gul, Tanvir Sadiq, Ahsan Pardesi, Irfan Ahmed Shah, JS Azad, Er Sabiya Qadri, Salman Ali Sagar also spoke on the occasion.
Meanwhile, Dr Sajad Shafi Uri has been elected as District President Baramulla through transparent elections carried out by party’s State Secretary Sakina Itoo, In-Charge North Zone election.
