| NC pledges to uphold secular, pluralistic, democratic ethos of J&K | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 5: On 114th birth anniversary of Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, National Conference today resolved to uphold the ideals of the great visionary leader, who worked tirelessly all his life to uphold secular, pluralistic, democratic, muliti-ethnic and multi linguistic ethos of Jammu and Kashmir and strived for empowerment of down-trodden and marginalized segments of the society while continuously endeavouring for strengthening the various institutions and taking governance to grassroots level. Leading senior leaders and workers in paying tribute to Sheikh Sahib at a function held at Sher-e-Kashmir Bhavan here this morning, Provincial President Devender Singh Rana said the leader of the masses rejected the two-nation theory of Ali Mohammed Jinnah and tied destiny of Jammu and Kashmir with Gandhiji's secular India because of his unflinching commitment to secularism and democracy. He recalled the great role of the tallest leader of the Indian sub-continent in transforming Muslim Conference into National Conference, as he firmly believed in taking all segments of the inclusive society along. "Sher-e-Kashmir will be remembered by generations for his revolutionary Land Reforms Act, devolution of powers under Single Line Administration to ensure equitable development of all the regions and sub-regions besides promoting Panchayati Raj System to empower people at grass roots level", the Provincial President said, adding that Sheikh Sahib's role will go down in the annals of history with golden letters and historians can never afford to ignore the contribution of National Conference towards peace, prosperity and development of Jammu and Kashmir besides upholding the dignity of the people. |
