Srinagar, July 20, 2021 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, pro-India National Conference (NC) has claimed that Kashmir has been pushed to an economic and democratic disconnect with the rest of India.

NC General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar made these comments while welcoming Ashok Kumar Bharti, the vice chairman of Shopian Municipal Committee, into the party fold. Ashok, who was affiliated with the BJP, joined the NC along with scores of his supporters. Among others who joined the NC are Shushma Bali, Chander Kumar Bali, Rajinder Koul and Manoj Koul.

As per an NC statement, Sagar said, Kashmir has been pushed to economic and democratic disconnect with the rest of India and that discomfiture has equally been felt by Kashmiri Pandit community.

Addressing the event, NC provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani said Kashmiri Pandits are part of the pluralistic culture of Kashmir.

Meanwhile, NC president Farooq Abdullah called for expediting the pace of the party’s membership drive and asked all provincial, zonal and district functionaries to lend all support to strengthen the organization at all levels.

In order to stand up for the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, it is important for the party functionaries to work for strengthening the organization, Farooq Abdullah said.

He asked the party functionaries to prepare for organizational polls to be held after the conclusion of the membership drive.
