While addressing a massive election rally in Kangan, Ganderbal today along with NC Working President and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Dr. Farooq Abdullah said that the need of the hour was to save the country from the danger of Modi's communal and pisive politics.According to a statement issued while speaking on the occasion, Dr. Farooq Abdullah said that the very idea of India was an idea of secularism, multiculturalism and multinational-ism and this was the idea of India that the State of J&K reposed its trust in when it acceded to the Union of India. "Today National Conference and J&K at large will be at the frontlines of a battle to safeguard that very idea of a secular and democratic India where every citizen has a right to dream of a better, prosperous future without limitations based on religion and creed", Dr. Farooq Abdullah said.
Stating that PDP's "lying machinery" had perhaps broken all world records of brazen lying, Dr. Farooq Abdullah said that Mufti Mohammad Sayeed has the unique distinction in the entire world of claiming credit for the historic bilateral diplomatic achievements between two Premiers of two countries who perhaps have never even spoken to Mufti Sayeed, leave alone consulted him in such affairs.Dr. Farooq Abdullah said that National Conference will not allow BJP and PDP to pide the people of J&K on the basis of caste, creed and religion. "PDP fielded candidates tactically in Jammu to help BJP candidates and this is something that has been openly stated by Ghulam Nabi Azad Sahab and Soz Sahab of the Congress as well. They first tried to sabotage the NC-Congress Coalition and once they failed, they fell right into the lap of Narendra Modi. This is the character of PDP", Dr. Farooq Abdullah said.
Dr. Farooq Abdullah asked the people to vote in large numbers in favor of the NC Congress Coalition in these elections so that communal forces could be defeated and kept out of the State of J&K which has always been known for its communal harmony and brotherhood.Those who spoke on the occasion included Senior NC Leader Mian Altaf Ahmed, MP Dr. Mehboob Beg, NC Provincial President Jammu Devender Rana, EX-MLC Haji Ali Mohammad Bhat of Congress, NC District President Ganderbal Haji Abdul Rehman Mir, NC Leader Sajjad Shaheen and various senior NC leaders and office bearers.
