SRINAGAR, Sept 7: National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah today presided over a meeting of the functionaries of Youth National Conference at party headquarters Nawa-e-Subha, wherein he called for amplified efforts to help people during prevailing COVID crisis.
The participants deliberated on the aftermath of unilateral and unconstitutional measures of the Government of India undertaken on 5th of August last year. The participants expressed concern over the cataclysmic effects of the previous clampdown and prevailing COVID-19 lockdown on the economy. The issues concerning the public ranging from development deficit, administrative inertia and unaccountability plaguing the administration were also widely discussed in the marathon meet.
On the occasion, the YNC functionaries, zone incharges and district presidents reiterated their support to the party president for the restoration of the constitutional position of J&K, which was unilaterally rescinded by the Central Government given a ditch to the commitments it had made from time to time to the people of J&K. The participants also expressed concern over the prolonged incarceration of youth in and outside J&K at various detention centers and demanded their immediate release.
While interacting with the YNC functionaries, Omar Abdullah said that J&K was going through a watershed moment and that the situation demanded unity amongst the party’s rank and file. He urged the Party’s YNC rank to keep in touch with the people and help them during the prevailing situation, saying that party was the all time companion of the people.
“Our youth have to play an important role during these trying times. I am sure that YNC functionaries will walk shoulder to shoulder with the people in these precarious times and render help to them in every way they can. Youth are believed to drive changes, and rightly so. But during the prevailing COVID-19 induced crisis it becomes rather more imperative for them to be with people,” he said.
The participants on the occasion unanimously sought release of all the incarcerated youth languishing inside and outside since August the 5th last year, saying there could be not be complete redemption of the situation in J&K until the democratic rights of the people of J&K aren’t restored, detainees released, gags on activities of political parties removed and the constitutional safeguards pertaining to J&K restored.
Among others, party general secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar, additional general secretary Dr Sheikh Mustafa Kamal, provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani, party treasurer Shammi Oberoi, provincial secretary Showkat Ahmed Mir, YNC provincial president Salman Ali Sagar, were present.
