While addressing a public gathering former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah cautioned people about the religious divide. He said that “no religion is bad, it is humans who are corrupt, not a religion.”
The former J&K CM also mentioned about Lord Ram during his speech and said, “Lord Ram is not only the God of Hindus, he is the Lord of everyone in this world.”
Farooq Abdullah urged the crowd to not fall prey to divisive politics. He said, “They will use ‘Hindu khatre mai hain’ (Hindus are in danger) a lot during the elections, but I request you to not fall prey to it.”
Farooq Abdullah was addressing a public rally in Jammu and Kashmir’s Akhnoor district. Abdullah also accused the Centre of failing to keep promises made in the union territory.
According to a report by Hindustan Times, he said, “We were promised 50,000 jobs here, where are they? Our doctors, nurses, paramedical staff, and our children are all unemployed. This cannot be done by a Governor, you cannot hold him accountable. Elections are important.”
Advocating for the restoration of J&K’s sovereignty, Abdullah stated that the time will come when Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh will be reunited.
