SRINAGAR: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah Sunday said NC-Congress combine was not afraid of Union home minister Amit Shah’s comment in Jammu that “it (NC-Congress) should stop fooling people by promising statehood as only Centre can restore the status.” “We are committed to ensure restoration of full statehood to J&K one day,” Farooq said.
Talking to mediapersons after paying tribute to his father Sheikh Abdullah on his 42nd death anniversary at his mausoleum in Hazratbal, Farooq said, “Time will come when J&K will get back full statehood.”
He was flanked by his son Omar Abdullah and other party leaders.
“BJP had claimed that terrorism would be wiped out in J&K, after abrogation of Article 370. Has terrorism ended in J&K? Rather, it has now become a challenge and they are responsible for it,” Farooq said, questioning BJP’s claim that terrorism would return if NC and Congress started governing.
“BJP is trying to create fear among voters. But people are wise enough to understand whom to vote for this time,” he said.
“Those raising questions about Muslims should know that Muslims have contributed to the freedom movement and sacrificed their lives. They are trying to scare Hindus, hoping Hindus will vote for them. But, Hindus here are aware,” he added.
