JAMMU, Sept 8: The leaders of Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) today paid rich floral tribute to Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah on his 43rd death anniversary.
In this regard a commemorative event was held here today.
The event was chaired by provincial president Jammu Rattan Lal Gupta and attended by Surinder Choudhary, Deputy Chief Minister, Ajay Kumar Sadhotra former Minister and additional general secretary and Cabinet Minister Satish Sharma.
Speaking on the occasion, Surinder Choudhary highlighted the vision championed by Sheikh Abdullah throughout his life.
He said, “NC remains steadfast in its mission to safeguard the rights of all people, ensuring freedom of religion, equality, and unity in diversity. Upholding this spirit and isolating those who spread hate is the true tribute to Sheikh Sahib.”
Sadhotra emphasized Sheikh as a “towering political figure and a lighthouse of Hindu-Muslim unity.”
“The Government is committed to reaching the last person in the remotest village, regardless of caste, creed, or religion,” he said.
Rattan Lal Gupta praised Sher-e-Kashmir as a visionary and a contemporary of Mahatma Gandhi who tirelessly worked to build bridges of amity and brotherhood during some of the most challenging periods in the subcontinent’s history.
