Srinagar : The Vice President J&K National Conferencet Omar Abdullah on Saturday said that NC was not fighting for acquiring power but restoration of people’s abridged democratic, and constitutional rights.
According to a statement issued from party headquarters here, he said this while addressing a one-day workers convention at Devsar. Reiterating his stand, Omar said that the party will continue its fight for the restoration of the hard earned rights of the people of J&K. “We are not fighting for power, we are fighting for the rights of our people. It’s people who matter for us, not power. We won’t barter our dignity for power and chair. Politics for us is not the means to acquire power, it’s a medium for us to protect the vital interests of our people & to serve them to the best of capability. We won’t revert on our promises.” Omar Abdullah urged all the people associated with the party to remain committed to peaceful means. “I want to assure all your colleagues that whatever the decision of December 11 will be, our fight will not stop, we will not back down from our mission. We will continue to fight till we reach our destination.” He said, “I have never seen such a period in my life in which the machinery of the government is being used against the political parties that it stands for. The National Conference has been at the forefront of rendering sacrifices for peace and democracy in Jammu and Kashmir and for the honor and dignity of the people here.” He said that JKNC has always supported the constitution and it has been our position that our fight will be peaceful.
