SRINAGAR, Apr 28: Criticising the PM Modi’s speech where he equated Muslims as infiltrators, the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr. Farooq Abdullah appealed the people to vote for INDIA candidates and make them victorious in LS elections.
Addressing a party workers convention, organised by Incharge Constituency Chanapora Mushtaq Guroo, the NC President Dr Farooq accused PM Modi of speaking his mind by equating Muslims with infiltrators and said that sensing an imminent drubbing BJP and it’s leadership is again stocking fear and playing communal card.

He said, “However people are asking BJP questions on employment, development and progress. But their progress report is blank. You cannot feed the people with communal sentiments indefinitely. Our youth want jobs, our elderly want better health care, our mothers and sisters want better services. People are fed up of BJP and are ready to teach them a lesson in the underway polls. Udhampur, Jammu have spoken in one voice and rejected BJP. Now it’s the time for the people of Kashmir to answer in one voice against BJP proxies and minions here.”
“INDIA bloc will win all six Lok Sabha seats in Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. BJP has developed cold feet and has opted out of the race sensing a imminent drubbing at the hands of National Conference. It’s hiding behind it’s proxies but that won’t work. Be it Lok Sabha elections or Assembly polls, new records are being made due to your hard work. I am happy to see your enthusiasm but seeing your enthusiasm, other party leaders develop cold feet,” said Farooq.
The NC leader further claimed that BJP has failed to win hearts in Kashmir, decisions made in 2019 have angered and alienated people in the valley.
Earlier in the party candidate Syed Aga Ruhullah Mehdi addressed an impressive election rally in Chadoora.
The rally was organised by Central Zone President Ali Mohammad Dar.
Among others who were present during the meeting included Party Treasurer Shammi Oberoi, Provincial Women’s wing Sabiya Qadri, Minority wing organiser Sardar JS Azad, Local Party unit YNC, women’s wing & minority wing functionaries.
