Banihal, 29-Mar; National Conference (NC) leader and District president Ramban Mr Sajjad Shaheen has said that National Conference is not a mere political party, but a movement with well-defined political agenda.While addressing party’s working committee meeting of Block Ramsoo at Dak Bunglow Ramsoo in Banihal constituency today , Shaheen said that,“NC is a movement rather than a mere political party. A well-defined political agenda for a modern and model Jammu and Kashmir is its bulwark.”“Workers of NC are epitome of sacrifice and selfless service who have withstood all challenges and proven their loyalty towards people, party and its leadership,” he said.“Sher-i-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah transferred ‘a peoples movement’ to us in the shape of NC and we have to nurture it in the same form,” he said.The party’s objective has never been power but dignity and development of the state and people, he said.“We do not deceive people by emotional blackmailing, slogans, falsehood, bias and creating hatred between various regions and sections of the society for votes,” Shaheen said.“There have been conspiracies against us in the past and it still is continuing as political parties are being created in every nook and corner of the erstwhile State to divide us.Asserting that National Conference (NC) is a deep rooted mass movement, Shaheen said NC has a firm standing in all 90 constituencies in the erstwhile state.Shaheen further said that ”NC is the only party with credible footprints in all 90 Assembly constituencies of the state”. Taking a dig at political soothsayers, he said those patting their backs over standing in the state’s political sphere and claiming to form next government in J&K will not find enough candidates to field from all constituencies.Block presidents Ramsoo and Ukharhal Nisar Ahmad Sohil, Riyaz Ahmed Mir, District Vice president Mushtaq Ahmed Sohil, Sr block Vice Presidents Zahoor Ahmed Katoch, Bahar Ahmed Naik, Block secretary Mohd Azam Sohil, Mohd Sharif Sohil, Imtyaz Ahmed Mughal,Mohd Muzamil Mir, youth block president Thakur Jagjit Singh, besides Javed Ahmed Sohil, Farooq Ahmed Wani, Mohd Ashraf Sohil, Parvez Ahmed, Tanvir Ahmed, Manzoor Ahmed Mir, Gulzar Manhas , Bilal Ahmed Mir, Abdul Manan Katoch also spoke on the occasion.(CNS)
