While emphasising on ensuring the success of INDIA Alliance candidates in the upcoming parliamentary elections, Dr Farooq Abdullah said, "On one side there is the party which is leading to sectarianism in the country and on the other side there are those who want to see the country united. On the one hand, there are those who have made life difficult for minorities of the country, and on the other hand, there are those who want to take everyone along. And on the other hand, there are those who want to protect the constitution and strengthen democracy."
