Farooq Abdullah Urges NC Workers to Remain Loyal Beyond Power, Calls for Poverty Alleviation
Baramulla, Oct 24: National Conference (NC) president Dr Farooq Abdullah on Saturday urged party workers to remain loyal to the organisation regardless of political circumstances, asserting that commitment to the party should be guided by honesty, principles and public service rather than the pursuit of power. Addressing a gathering in Baramulla, Abdullah said workers who had made sacrifices for the party must stand by it with sincerity, even when it was not in government. If you have really given your blood for this Jamaat, then walk with it with honesty. Do not walk with dishonesty, he said. Questioning the tendency of some workers to associate with a political party only while it holds power, the NC president asked whether their commitment would endure if the government changed. Today there is a government, and you are with us. If you want to remain with this Jamaat, will you remain only as long as this government is there? he asked. Abdullah said the real strength of the National Conference lay in the dedication and integrity of its workers, adding that political commitment should not be dictated by positions, personal gains or changing circumstances. He called upon party members to remain courageous and steadfast in their beliefs, urging them to prioritise the interests of the people over individual ambitions. Emphasising that his political concerns went beyond holding public office, Abdullah said his primary objective was to address the economic hardships faced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir. I am not asking you to make me Chief Minister. I am not asking you to make me President. I am asking you to remove our poverty, he said. The NC president also raised concerns over electricity shortages in Jammu and Kashmir despite the region's power-generation capacity. Questioning the continued deprivation of consumers, he said, Electricity is being produced, yet we are deprived of electricity. Referring to his tenure as Chief Minister, Abdullah recalled efforts to develop major hydropower projects and discussions with the Centre regarding their eventual transfer to Jammu and Kashmir. We will take the projects back, he asserted, reiterating the issue of the region's rights over its power resources. Reflecting on Jammu and Kashmir's political relationship with India, Abdullah invoked the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, saying the understanding had been rooted in the ideals of peace and communal harmony. We made peace with Gandhis India. We made peace with Nehrus India. We never expected that a time would come when Hindus and Muslims would be made to fight each other, he said. Abdullah urged people to speak openly and without fear, stressing that political workers must remain guided by their convictions and the welfare of the public. He said the focus of political leadership should be on addressing people's problems, including poverty and electricity shortages, rather than on securing positions of authority.

Spare Political Class From this Belittlement: Sajjad Lone Criticises CM Omar Abdullah
Srinagar, Oct 24: Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Conference president Sajjad Lone on Saturday criticised Chief Minister Omar Abdullah over his remarks to party MLAs regarding demands for ministerial berths, saying the comments amounted to public humiliation and belittled the political class. In a post on X, Lone said he watched the Chief Minister speaking to the media after meeting Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and described his remarks as contemptuous and disdainful. I honestly cant believe that these MLAs are comfortable with such belittling and humiliating remarks, Lone said, adding that if the Chief Minister was unable to accommodate the legislators in the cabinet, they could be spared public humiliation. Lone acknowledged that the matter concerned internal party affairs and said he perhaps should not have commented, but argued that such remarks could have a wider impact. There is always a spillover. You may direct the derision at your own members but it invariably belittles the political class, he said. He questioned how elected representatives could face their constituents when they were allegedly being treated as unworthy and incapable school boys. Referring to author Tasha Eurichs work on self-awareness, Lone said someone desperately needs to read her book and added that somebody is certainly self-deluded. Quoting Eurich, he wrote: The least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities. Lone also criticised elected MLAs for what he described as accepting humiliation, saying they appeared to act like bonded labour and were immune to humiliation. Spare the political class from this belittlement. We deserve better, he said.
