After PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti expressed discontent over the National Conference’s decision to contest all three Lok Sabha constituencies in Kashmir, NC president Farooq Abdullah responded confidently, emphasizing that both parties are integral parts of the INDIA coalition. Abdullah stated that the National Conference stands independently and, having secured three seats in the 2019 general elections, is committed to winning again for the INDIA alliance.

Abdullah expressed certainty in the continuous growth of the INDIA alliance, asserting its necessity for the future of India and democracy. He highlighted the shared vision of a secular India where people coexist in peace, harmony, and progress, emphasizing the inclusivity enshrined in the Indian Constitution.

Reacting to Mufti’s remarks, Abdullah acknowledged her regret over the perceived breakdown in unity within the PAGD.

In response to questions about the formation of a new government in Pakistan, Abdullah emphasized that Islamabad must decide whether it seeks peaceful relations with India. He reiterated the enduring accession of Kashmir to India and underscored that decisions regarding peace lie in Pakistan’s hands.
