Gandhi’s Influence on ‘Naya Kashmir’

Dr. Abdullah went on to elaborate that it was Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of a free India that had helped shape the dream of ‘Naya Kashmir,’ a vision of a new, progressive Jammu and Kashmir.

During the event, leaders of the National Conference also discussed the challenges faced by the people of the Jammu region due to the absence of a popular government and the policies of the current administration.
