BJP, its proxies seek to change the country’s secular character: Dr Farooq Abdullah
Says “INDIA bloc has been formed to safeguard the Constitution, unity, diversity, federalism”
Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah on Monday led the party’s election campaign in Central Shalteng and Eidgah Constituencies.
The events were organized by Senior Party Leaders Irfan Ahmad Shah and Mubarak Gul.
Party President Dr Farooq Abdullah, party Candidate from Srinagar Parliament Constituency Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi & District President Srinagar Peer Afaq Ahmad addressed the gatherings.
In his address to the people, he said the J&K National Conference has joined forces with the INDIA block to protect the diversity, unity and Constitution of the country.
Lamenting the lack of development in Srinagar, Dr Farooq said, “BJP’s core ideology is that there should be no development in areas where Muslims are in majority. It is as simple as this. Why is Srinagar lagging behind in development on all accounts? Despite being the nerve centre of the Kashmir region, the city is confronting a plethora of issues and a rising unemployment graph.”
“The promises made by BJP in the run-up for August 2019 decisions are yet to see the light of the day. So much was said about Srinagar’s smart city. Is our city smart enough to cope with torrential rains, and traffic mess? What progress has been made on solid waste management? Where are jobs for our youth? Why has there been no headway on health, educational and recreation fronts? Where is the development which is being talked about?” he asked.
