SRINAGAR: National Conference Working President, Omar Abdullah on Saturday said that people of all regions and sub-regions of the State were equally dear to him and his sacred mission in politics was to serve the people sincerely and equitably.
“For the greater goal of prosperity and dignity of J&K, the constituency from which I contest can never be a hurdle for our vision for our State and its people. Ganderbal, Sonwar, Beerwah and every single constituency of J and K is equally dear to me and will always receive equal and focused attention from me”, Omar Abdullah said while addressing hundreds of senior political activists and youth activists from Sonwar and Beerwah who visited his residence to express their joy and gratitude to him for choosing to fight the coming Assembly Elections from here.
While expressing his thanks to the visiting delegations for reposing their unfaltering faith in him and in the policy, vision and ideology of National Conference, Omar Abdullah said that National Conference has been the courageous and honest voice of the people of Jammu and Kashmir at every crucial juncture in our history.
“History bears testimony to the fact that National Conference has withstood numerous challenges and political intrigues in the past and has never ceased to represent the aspirations of the people above and beyond partisan and self-seeking politics. Owing to the association of National Conference with the people of this State at the grassroots level, our bond is timeless, sacred and will forever remain strong”, Omar said.
Omar added that National Conference has always and will always treat politics as a means to a greater end and not as an ambition in itself.
“We have always looked at politics as a tool to uphold the dignity and aspirations of our people – as a medium to improve the lives of our people and set the edifice of a brighter future for our children. Our vision is that of a strong, prosperous and peaceful Jammu and Kashmir, where our people live in peace, amity and strive for the growth and betterment of our State. Unlike others, we are not guided by the destructive, self-centered goal of power at any cost. I assure you that National Conference will always, without any inhibitions continue to be the voice of the people and we will always treat your trust”, Omar said.
The Working President of National Conference said that he will continue to carry forward the legacy of Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and will spare no efforts to nurture the State economically, socially and politically in line with the highest ideals of Sher-e-Kashmir.
“Today I bear the torch of those values of National Conference that you have irrigated with your blood and those that you have devoted your lives for. We will together strive for the dream of Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and protect our State from all intrigues and conspiracies”, Omar said.
He said the comprehensive and holistic development of youth in Jammu and Kashmir has been his focus in politics and he will continue to bat for the all-round development, employability enhancement, skill development and bright future for the youth of the J&K.
“My party has always given foremost priority to the development and progress of our youth and we will continue to pursue a youth-oriented vision. My commitment to the youth of J&K is above and beyond politics and I will never cease to strive for their welfare and prosperity”, the NC Working President said.
“Our workers faced unimaginable challenges with determination, dignity and valor and we will together continue in the pursuit of our vision for the State”, Omar Abdullah said.
