| Uphold secularism, isolate divisive forces: NC | | |  Early Times Report
DARHAL, Apr 3: National Conference today stressed the crucial need of upholding secularism and isolating divisive forces, urging the people to unite and foil the machinations of elements inimical to peace and tranquility.
"Fragmenting society into bits and pieces in the name of religion and region is against the idea of Jammu and Kashmir and its most cherished composite ethos", Provincial President Devender Singh Rana said while addressing a public meeting here this afternoon.
Senior National Conference leaders Ajay Kumar Sadhotra, Rachpal Singh, Advocate Choudhry Liaqat and Shaffayat Khan also addressed the public meeting, convened as part of the campaign in favour of the Congress nominee for Jammu-Poonch Lok Sabha seat, Raman Bhalla.
Rana said that those dividing the society on the basis of religion under the garb of ultra-nationalism were actually doing dis-service to the nation. He expressed concern over arrogant posturing of some elements under the mistaken belief of serving national interest and said this in fact harms the spirit of togetherness and tranquility.
He said the state will progress only when the society at large maintains its time-tested heritage and isolates those creating wedge for petty political ends.
Sadhotra emphasised the need for strengthening secular forces, saying this is imperative in a diverse state like Jammu and Kashmir which has undergone a traumatic phase due to disturbances. He said unity among people is essential for harmonious growth of the state, adding that divisive politics can endanger the social fabric, cause disenchantment and vitiate communal harmony. |
