Srinagar, Mar 02: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President and Member of the Parliament from Srinagar Dr Farooq Abdullah on Saturday said the party’s policy is centred around bridging the gap between different sections of people irrespective of their region, religion or caste.
Calling for strengthening efforts underway to get people’s abridged rights back, he said, “We have to work together to achieve the ultimate goal of securing our abridged rights. NC will continue to strive for the protection of J&K’s land, jobs and democratic rights which have been undermined over the years. The coming few months are crucial; for the future of the politics of Jammu & Kashmir. It surely calls for hard work, discipline and unity.”
He said this while interacting with some functionaries from the party’s North, South and central zone units who called on him here, an official statement said.
Interacting with the visiting functionaries, Dr Farooq emphasised the party’s vision for the region’s development and “protection of its unique selfhood and individuality”. He exhorted the functionaries to work in tandem shouldering the critical responsibilities entrusted to them with a sense of belongingness and commitment.
Meanwhile, a delegation from Dodran of tehsil Bonyar met Dr Abdullah, the statement said, adding, “The delegation brought to their notice the case of 40 families of the Dodran area, where the government acquired land for construction of a road under PMGSY, but even after 13 years, the said families have not been compensated for the land. Apart from this, the delegation also demanded the construction of a 3 km road from Dodran to Bagh Dodran.”
The MP contacted District Development Commissioner Baramulla on the spot and raised the matter and urged to provide immediate compensation to these families, the party said. On the occasion, State Spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar, and other officials were also present.
