NC holds public rally in Nagrota, Jammu

Jammu, 20 Mar: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference on Monday organised a public rally in Nagrota Jammu that was addressed by Vice President Omar Abdullah besides other senior leaders of the party.
According to a party statement, fhe Public rally was organized by DDC Dansal Shamim Begum and BDC Chairman Nagrota Ch. Rehmat.
Speaking on the occasion, Omar Abdullah said that NC remains the only credible voice of Jammu and Kashmir, having deep rooted and credible footprints across Jammu, Pir Panjal, Chenab and Kashmir regions.
In his address, Omar said today’s function has refuted the notion that there is no hide and hair of NC in the plains of Jammu and that NC was only existent in Kashmir.
“Again people have rejected such false propaganda and showed how deep rooted NC is across all the regions of J&K. It’s not an individual who the people support, it’s the vision and mission of our party that the people connect to,” he said, adding, “The two regions are different to each other in terms of geography, language and culture. What is common between the two regions is the widespread despondency. People are anxious, no one knows when a new order will be issued dispossessing them of their rights.”
Lamenting the government on its failure to script a promised turnaround in four years since the decisions of August 05, 2019, he said, “It was said that NC was responsible for J&K people’s woes. What good have they achieved now? Where are those promised jobs? Where is the much touted development? Leave alone coming up with job orders ,they are not able to come up with selection lists.” He said that the government is not thinking in terms of helping people but frightening them. Parading of newly purchased bulldozers meant for demolition, he said, was a case in point.
On elections, Omar said BJP was shying away from facing people because it wasn’t able to live upto the hype on providing jobs, and ushering in development. “The post 2019 chapter in both Jammu and Kashmir provinces has been marked by job losses, economic slump and outsourcing of contracts.
