SAMBA, Mar 22: Member Legislative Assembly (MLA) and senior State vice president National Conference (NC) Surjeet Singh Slathia lashed out at peace inimical forces for pursuing regional and communal agenda to weaken the secular fabric of J&K.
“NC has always stood against these elements and foiled their attempts to destabilize the State and create impediments in its odyssey to peace and harmony”, Slathia said while addressing public meetings at Barjani and Bari Brahmana in Vijaypur constituency this afternoon.
In this context, he referred to the negative role being played by BJP and PDP with an avowed objective of flaring up passions to incite sentiments of the innocent people. However, he exuded confidence that people will foil their machinations by maintaining unity and promoting harmony as ever before.
Former Minister expressed optimism about secular forces meeting the challenge of communal elements by strengthening the bonds of amity between the communities and the regions.
“Registering victory is not a big deal but we have to ensure Madan Lal Sharma’s victory with a massive margin”, Slathia told the enthusiastic crowd, adding that this will be acknowledgement of the initiatives taken by Omar led Government and policies and programmes of NC led by Dr Farooq Abdullah.
Slathia said that the Coalition Government has ensured equitable development of all the regions of the State, adding that the main thrust has been on infrastructural development and improving the conditions of the people to enable them lead prosperous and dignified life.
He said the current developmental landscape of the State has unnerved the opponents who were now resorting to unethical means by playing with the sentiments of the people for their political interest.
