SRINAGAR, JUNE 01 (STC): Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah Saturday said to overcome the “setbacks” the region suffered during years of “undemocratic rule and bureaucratic stagnation”, the current democratic government is actively working to undo the “damage caused by past inefficiencies”.
He was addressing a day-long women’s wing provincial meeting at the party headquarters here.
He said the Jammu and Kashmir government is striving to restore the “lost development momentum” in the union territory.
The NC president underscored the pressing need for inclusive governance, prioritising women’s empowerment and ensuring that the voices of marginalised communities are heard loud and clear.
“Omar Abdullah government is focused on rebuilding a brighter future for Jammu and Kashmir, one that fosters both economic and social growth by actively addressing the developmental roadblocks that hinder our progress for far too long. A change in direction is not just necessary, it is essential,” he said.
He praised the role of women in the region’s political landscape, calling them the backbone of society.
“Our women are not just pillars of strength; they are catalysts for change. As leaders in their homes and communities, their empowerment is directly tied to the overall progress of Jammu and Kashmir,” the NC president said.
“We in NC are ensuring that they are given the tools and opportunities to lead, thrive, and shape the future of our region,” he added.
