Reminding people of great sacrifices of NC to safeguard J&K’s interests of the State and to ensure empowerment of people, Omar Abdullah Tuesday said that NC’s been a public movement rather than a party and its political agenda is holistic, inclusive and youth centric.
“We are not the baby of any agency, nor the creation of any outside sponsor. We owe our existence and power to common masses of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh and we only bank upon the public support”, Omar asserted and hinted at the formation of PDP by Jagmohan and company to damage the local base of NC and scuttle its political agenda for peaceful and modern Jammu and Kashmir.
Omar om a whirlwind tour of Chenab Valley addressed public rallies at Ukhral, Khari and Neel in Banihal.
“We have braved the brunt of highhandedness, animosity and false propaganda. Our leaders and workers were made to suffer severely. Atrocities of all kinds were let loose on our workers and leaders in different periods but nobody could shatter our firm faith in our political agenda”, Omar said. “Enemies of NC alongwith their associates have gathered in new form under one umbrella to break NC’s public base by resorting to falsehood and baseless propaganda.”
“Teach them a lesson once again as you did in 1977 when they were in another disguise to tarnish your unity and strength. They camouflage with different situations to give illusion of being your friends but their vengeance, hostility and animosity against National Conference and its political agenda comes to fore by their own actions and omissions”, he said and added that PDP has become a new camping ground for all those elements who in one or the other form bear acrimony against National Conference and want to harm it.
“They have no agenda for public good or the betterment of the State. They have joined hands only to put hurdles in the forward movement of National Conference to seek permanent peace and youth welfare in the State”, he said and added that these elements have neither in the past deterred National Conference nor at present will be able to do so as people fully recognize them as a spent force by various sponsors in the political fields during different periods.
