Once the ‘Darbar Move’ tradition started in Jammu and Kashmir, government offices have reopened in Jammu. On this, National Conference President and former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah said on Monday that those who wanted to divide Jammu and Kashmir have failed.
Farooq Abdullah told reporters on the occasion of reopening of offices here that the Union Territory is united and it should collectively move towards development. He said that those who wanted to separate Jammu and Kashmir have failed today. Abdullah also said that all parts of the Union Territory are one.
Targeted at BJP
Taking aim at the BJP, he said that those politicizing the issue should ‘quit politics’ and instead focus on the welfare of the people and the development of the Union Territory. Abdullah said that Jammu will also progress and expressed hope that it will get maximum benefits with the coming of the Secretariat.
‘We have to take Jammu and Kashmir towards development’
He said, “This (erstwhile) state has to rise again. It has recovered from many devastations including wars and we have to together rebuild it and take it towards development.” Abdullah congratulated the Chamber of Commerce and the people for welcoming this step. He said that I express my gratitude to every person of Jammu who supported this step.
‘This shows unity among the people of Jammu and Kashmir’
Describing the tradition of ‘Darbar Move’ started by Maharaja Hari Singh as a big step, Farooq Abdullah said that this step shows unity among the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The former chief minister said, “This means that the people of Jammu and Kashmir consider themselves as one, no matter what their language or religion, they belong to one land.”
