DODA Oct 4: National Conference today called upon the political class to rise above the party politics and prioritise amity and communal harmony for the benefit of the Chenab region, observing that any attempt of polarization will have serious ramifications for a sensitive State.
“We must eschew tendencies of getting engaged in activities that are detrimental to the interests of our people”, Provincial president Devender Singh Rana said while addressing National Conference workers at Doda today.
Earlier, Mr Rana and other senior leaders addressed the workers at Batote, Assar and Thathri while similar meetings will be held at Bhaderwah and Kishtwar tomorrow.
The Provincial president exhorted leaders of various parties to rise above their political affiliations for the betterment of the lives of the people, who inherit a rich legacy of brotherhood and amity.
Mr Rana said that an onerous responsibility has casted upon the entire political spectrum at this crucial juncture of the history when the State is passing through most difficult times. “Without pinpointing the causes responsible for the present crisis, we must firm up our resolve for maintaining brotherhood”, he said and reminded the party cadre of the great role played by National Conference in cementing relations between various religions and regions.
Urging the cadre at all the levels to play their defined role in steering out the State from crisis wherein the people are suffering immensely, Mr Rana said that the party workers were epitome of sacrifice who have withstood challenges during most horrendous times.
District president Khalid Najeeb Suharwardhy asked the cadre to close their ranks to meet the challenges confronted to the State. He said a vibrant NC is answer to all problems confronted to the State.
Former Minister and MLC Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo called for communal harmony, saying any attempt to divide society in bits and pieces by generating passion on the basis of religion is detrimental for its harmonious growth. He urged the workers to remain sincere to the people and party leadership.
Former MP Sheikh Abdul Rehman, District president Ramban Sajjad Shaheen, former MLA Dr Chaman Lal, State vice president Rattan Lal Gupta and senior leader Th Kashmira Singh also addressed the workers.
