SRINAGAR, July 31: National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah today lashed out at PDP- BJP Coalition for taking the State on a dangerous path of communal discord.
While interacting with party workers from Tral, Rajouri, Poonch, Kulgam, Chadoora and Sopore at his residence today Dr Farooq said, “ The J&K state is going through a very sensitive time. The present coalition is hell bent on vitiating peaceful atmosphere of the state. The balance that existed between different communities seems to be nowhere.”
“I have been saying this before elections too and I’ m saying this now. BJP in connivance with its coalition partner PDP has set out on a path to bring Kashmir and Jammu at loggerheads. The present situation in our state is a physical manifestation of their policies and plans,” Dr Farooq added.
“National Conference brought J&K out of the despotic, autocratic rule and heralded an era of peace, brotherhood, communal amity between communities. Unfortunately, the present dispensation is making an all out effort to derail it,” Dr Farooq said, adding that “ NC is on the mission that Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah has shown us.”
He lashed out at the Government for ignoring flood victims. “They have a moral obligation to restore livelihoods, houses of those who got affected in 2014 floods. The Government has to prioritize rehabilitation of these victims but they seem to be interested in playing petty politics.”
On the recently launched membership drive, Dr Farooq asked the party workers to ensure that no wrong is committed while distributing membership to party workers and sympathizers across the state.
