National Conference (NC) president Dr. Farooq Abdullah emphasized the importance of cooperation between the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir government, stating that both must work together instead of engaging in conflicts. Responding to recent remarks by NC MP Aga Ruhullah, who claimed that Omar Abdullah was risking being perceived as a “Centre’s man,” Farooq Abdullah defended Omar, asserting that he is the people’s Chief Minister and not working on anyone’s directives.
Farooq Abdullah highlighted the necessity of maintaining a working relationship with the Centre for the region’s progress, stating that confrontation would hinder resolving people’s issues and developing infrastructure like schools and hospitals. He clarified that while they are not aligned with the BJP, cooperation with the Centre is essential for Jammu and Kashmir’s development.
Addressing the controversy surrounding a BSF Commandant accused in a paper scam who reportedly sought to join the National Conference, Farooq Abdullah stated that the individual cannot join the party until he gets a clean chit.
