NC Intact, Opposition Spreading Rumors: Sakeena Itoo

Gulmarg | Nov, 10: Health Minister Sakeena Itoo dismissed reports of internal rifts within the ruling National Conference on Tuesday, labeling them as exaggerated narratives propagated by political opponents. She affirmed that the party remains united and resilient.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the inauguration of the New Type Primary Health Centre (NTPHC) building at Chukkar Kunzer, Itoo clarified the party’s internal dynamics. “National Conference is intact. We are one family. Opposition has nothing to offer and they are spreading canards to create confusion,” she said.
Reaffirming the party’s core stance on key constitutional matters, the Minister emphasized that Article 370, Article 35A, and the restoration of statehood remain central to the National Conference’s political mandate. She noted that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, alongside herself and other party legislators, has continuously championed these demands, including at public platforms such as Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, reports said.
Highlighting health sector developments, Itoo expressed satisfaction over completing the NTPHC facility, which had experienced prolonged administrative delays. “Thank God, this project has finally been completed. Those responsible could not complete it during those years, but today, by the grace of Allah, we have completed it under the present government led by Omar Abdullah Sahab,” she said. She added that the administration is actively working to transition public services operating out of rented premises into state-owned infrastructure to improve healthcare delivery.
