National Conference Convenes Meeting on Election Preparedness in Kashmir
SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President, Dr Farooq Abdullah, presided over a meeting of the Provincial Committee, Kashmir Province at the party headquarters in Nawa-e-Subha, Srinagar, on Wednesday.
During his address, Omar Abdullah stated that the party would contest the parliamentary elections against the might of the center. He highlighted the party’s past success in the 2019 parliamentary elections, winning from all three constituencies of the Kashmir province, a statement issued by the party said.
He expressed confidence in achieving similar results this time. Omar reiterated the party’s commitment to safeguarding and upholding the political legacy of Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah. He emphasised the responsibility of party functionaries, workers, and grassroots-level cadre in addressing people’s concerns and advocating for their issues.
“The upcoming parliamentary elections are crucial for sending a message to the center regarding the events of August 5, 2019, which are deemed unacceptable by the party. I urge party functionaries to intensify their outreach programs and ensure that ground realities are effectively communicated to appropriate forums,” Omar said.
Vice President Omar Abdullah, Party General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar, Additional General Secretary Sheikh Mustafa Kamal, Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani, Chief Spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq, and senior leaders including Choudhary Muhammad Ramzan, Abdul Rahim Rather, Mubarak Gul, Sharief Ud din Shariq, Aga Syed Mehmood, Nazir Ahmad Khan Gurezi, Political Advisor to President Mushtaq Guroo, and Political Advisor to VP Mudassar Shahmiri were among those present.
