Jammu : President Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Party Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Monday paid glowing tributes and homage to father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi on his 154th birth anniversary at party’s provincial headquarters Sher-e-Kashmir Bhawan, Jammu.
Accordingly to a statement issued from party headquarters Srinagar, in his address to the party functionaries, Dr. Farooq said that the day is not only commemorated as the birth anniversary of Gandhi Ji but also his timeless values of nonviolence, social justice and communal harmony. “It was he who saw the ray of hope in the J&K when the rest of the country had been taken over by the communal frenzy. We the people of J&K also saw the paradise of our ideas in the efforts of Gandhi. It was in his vision of a free India that we saw the dream of Naya Kashmir come true. It was his ideology that drove J&K towards India, the need of the hour calls for strengthening those values. “he said.
