The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President and Member of the Parliament from Srinagar Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday while interacting with the press at Srinagar Railway Station congratulated PM Narendra Modi for inaugurating first ever electric rail to Kashmir.
He said that people are eagerly waiting for Kashmir to relate to the rest of the country by rail network. “Today is a blessed day that this train reached Sangaldan and the Prime Minister inaugurated it; I hope that this rail link will be fully completed by June-July this year,” he said.
Listing the advantages of the project, he said that besides enhancing the mobility of the commuters, it will give a boost to the local fruit industry by enabling the local agricultural produce to reach local and national mandis on time.
He further said, “Ghulam Nabi Azad’s claims that Farooq Abdullah goes to meet the Prime Minister and the Home Minister during the night are fabricated.”
“Why do I need to go during the night? I am a member of parliament, and I am dealing with public issues in broad daylight. I appeal to the Prime Minister and Home Minister to see who is spying for Azad in the PMO’s office and home. Azad cannot get away with making false and obnoxious statements. How can a person who is not loyal to his party and ideology be loyal to anybody? People are the best judges,” Farooq added.
In response to the question asked about the “misleading propaganda” against the National Conference leadership in recent days, the President of the National Conference said, “My opponents are trying every trick to cross all boundaries, my temple visits and reciting bhajans are brought in a manipulated form. Going to a temple and singing hymns does not mean that I am a Hindu, it shows religious harmony and tolerance.
“Because we live in a country where people of every religion make their own mistakes, it is written in the Holy Quran to respect other religions. I want to tell these people that we do not have this hatred,” Farooq further said.
