PULWAMA — National Conference President Farooq Abdullah on Friday launched a scathing attack on Engineer Rashid, calling him an “agent” of the Centre. Abdullah said this while interacting with reporters in Shopian during an election rally.
When asked about Engineer Rashid’s release from jail, Abdullah said, “You know this yourself. Everyone knows this. We are not afraid. No matter how many engineers are released, no one can destroy the National Conference.”
The National Conference leader expressed his commitment to the people of Kashmir, saying, “I only have faith in Allah and I have faith in these people.”
Dr Abdullah criticized PM Modi for his remarks on Muslim population growth, saying, “Muslims never steal anyone’s Mangalsutra; they are committed and law-abiding people.”
He emphasized that Muslims are not against India but against the forced imposition of religion and discrimination.
The National Conference leader condemned the “fake propaganda” spread by the BJP, alleging that they have “looted all of India.”
He expressed concern over the aim of India being distorted to fuel fighting among communities. Dr Abdullah rejected the idea of an India where religion is used to discriminate and bulldozers are used to destroy Islamic schools.
Meanwhile, the NC patron also visited the residence of Bashir Ahmad Nengroo in Pulwama where a brief ceremony was held during which Bashir Nengroo announced his rejoining the National Conference.
While speaking to the media, Farooq Abdullah said the BJP is trying to divide people in the upcoming Assembly elections. He said the Centre is responsible for shattering the trust of people by taking decisions like August 5, 2019 (scrapping of Article 370).
