No end to conspiracies against NC since 1947: Dr Farooq Abdullah

Srinagar, May 4:  National Conference (NC) President Dr Farooq Abdullah today said that there is no end to conspiracies against his party since 1947.

He was addressing back to back election rallies at Rozaball Park in Khanyar and Aali Kadal in Habba Kadal here.” National Conference is the party of the common people of Jammu and Kashmir. Since 1947 conspiracies have been hatched up to target and weaken our party. But these attempts and conspiracies have always failed and will fail again this time. With People’s massive support NC will emerge victorious again,” Dr Farooq Abdullah said.

He added that people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh have rejected the unconstitutional and undemocratic decisions of August 5, 2019. “On June 4 when the results of parliamentary polls will be declared, the whole world will get a message that these decisions are unacceptable to all of us,”NC President said.

The party's nominated candidate Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, party general secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar and women's wing president Shameem Firdous also addressed the gatherings.

Dr Farooq Abdullah said, "By the decisions of 5th August 2019, the individuality, identity and unity of Jammu and Kashmir was destroyed but the people here never accepted these decisions. In 1931, we started a movement to free people from the bondage of slavery. Similarly we will continue to fight for our rights snatched from us undemocratically."

He said that BJP has not only abolished Article 370 and 35A but these people also want to destroy the constitution of the country, these people want to see one colour in the country which is a threat to the integrity and freedom of the country. He said that the BJP government could not give any kind of relief to the people in 10 years, that's why today the leading leaders of this party have been forced to seek votes by spreading religious hatred.

NC President said that inflation is on the rise. "A gas cylinder which used to cost Rs 500 is priced at Rs 1100. The price of petrol and diesel have skyrocketed while unemployment is on the rise. BJP claimed 2 crore jobs will be provided every year, according to this the Modi government had to provide 20 crore jobs in 10 years of government. Where are these jobs? Big claims of providing jobs and employment were also made in Jammu and Kashmir but in the last 5 years the unemployment rate has broken all records. Currently 15 lakh highly educated unemployed people are sitting at home and crossing the age bar," he said.
