| NC will not allow changes in J-K''s demography: Farooq Abdullah | | |  Early Times Report
Srinagar, Jul 6 National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah Saturday said his party would not allow changes in Jammu and Kashmir''s demography and any attempt to dilute the unique identity of the state would be resisted tooth and nail.
Abdullah, while addressing a public gathering in Nowpora locality of the city here, claimed that the Muslim character of the state has troubled those forces that are inimical to the very identity and integrity of the state.
"There are forces whose sole agenda is to dilute the very pluralistic fabric of our state. The NC won''t allow any changes in the demography of the state. Any attempt to dilute the unique identity of the state will be resisted tooth and nail," he said.
The MP from Srinagar, while hitting out at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), claimed that the party "allowed the fascists to make inroads in our state".
"Unfortunately, such forces as are inimical to the identity of our state are using local henchmen to pursue their agenda. The mushrooming of political outfits in the valley is also suggestive of the nefarious agenda of such forces as want to demean and divide the voice of the people, particularly the Muslims," the NC president claimed.
He said it was unfortunate that no powerful Muslim voice "was allowed to surface on the political landscape of India and what is happening in Kashmir, cannot be singled out".
"Sher-e-Kashmir (NC founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah) had prophesied that after his death, the one man political outfits will be propped up in every nook and corner of the state. The main agenda of the right wing extremists is to eliminate the powerful voice of the Muslims in the state," Abdullah said.
Pointing towards Governor S P Malik-led state administrative council (SAC), he said "today we see a group of people at the helm of affairs in our state that are not representative in character".
He underscored the need of having a popularly elected government in the state.
"How can a few advisors of SAC rise up to the expectations of the people of the state? Today, we see how miserably the common population is being treated. The disdain with which the people are being treated speaks volumes about the contempt the incumbent governor administration has for the local population," he said. |
