| Losing polls a setback, admits Sajad Lone | | Decides to take break, thanks Sikh, Pandit brothers for supporting him | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, June 6: After losing parliamentary elections in North Kashmir to Er Rashid and National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah, chairman of Peoples Conference Sajad Gani Lone has decided to take a break.
Lone wrote on X: “I will be away for a few days. Taking a break to step back, pause and reflect. Winning and losing is part of life. A setback, Yes, but should it allow us to lose sight of our larger goal - the empowerment of our people, their dignity, development and making their voices heard - No!”
“Elections were merely a vehicle towards this larger goal, never an end in itself. If at all this setback should invigorate us further, strengthen our commitment, conviction and resolve towards realising our collective goal.”
“I would once again want to thank each one of my supporters who stood by me, believed in me and strengthened my convictions. I am also indebted to our Pandit brothers. And also Sikh brothers for extending their support. They remain an integral part of our larger dream for a peaceful, prosperous and empowered Kashmir.” |
