Like farmers, people of J&K may have to make ‘sacrifices’ to restore Article 370: Farooq Abdullah

Sri Nagar, 5/12: Regional National Conference President and former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah Sunday urged the party cadre to be ready to sacrifice as much as Indian farmers for reinstatement of Article 370 of the Constitution for Jammu and Kashmir, done away with by the Centre in August 2019.

“The Centre repealed (three) farm laws after the sacrifices by over 700 farmers. We may also have to offer similar sacrifices to get back the rights that have been snatched from us by the Centre,” Abdullah said, addressing party workers at Naseembagh mausoleum, which houses his father’s and NC founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah’s tombs.

He was making the address on the birth anniversary of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah.

He asked the party cadre to remain steadfast and in touch with the people on the ground in every locality of the Union Territory (UT) “so that farmers-like struggle can be launched to restore our rights.”
