Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah on Tuesday addressed the party workers meeting in Kargil.
Among others Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani, Senior leader Qamar Ali Akhoon, CEC Kargil Feroz Khan, Deputy Political Secretary to VP Mudassar Shahmiri, Block Presidents, Parent body, YNC and members of LHDC, Kargil were present on the occasion as well.
Addressing the people, Omar said that it was the love of people that has brought him to Kargil. “Had the people of Kargil accepted the decision of August 5, 2019, we would have also accepted the decision with a heavy heart. In a democracy, it is the people’s will that prevails. In reality, except few, no one wanted the bifurcation. People in Leh are also showing their detestation for Aug 05 decisions now,” he said.
He said there is no redressal of public grievances and public representatives are also treated with disdain. “In our times, the local representatives of Kargil and Leh councils were given their due. Local representatives had a say in decision-making. Today the situation is different. The local CECs aren’t not even allowed to hoist tricolour on the independence day, let alone have a say in decision-making,” he said.
