NC President Dr. Farooq acknowledges MLAs’ grievances genuine, but rules out split in party

STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, NOVEMBER 06 (STC): Even as grievances raised by a section of National Conference (NC) legislators were genuine, there is no possibility of a split within the party, said National Conference president Dr. Farooq Abdullah here today. He said their concerns would be addressed in a phased manner.
He asserted that the National Conference remained united and there was no question of a party split. “The news that a split is taking place in the National Conference is completely baseless. This community is organised, and those who think they can break it should remember that it has never been broken and never will be,” Dr. Farooq said.
Notably, he held a meeting with around 16 party legislators at his Gupkar residence. He said the leadership had listened to their concerns and would take steps to resolve them.
“We have spoken to them. Their problems were genuine and they were heard properly. We will take some steps quickly and some steps slowly,” he said.
He said the party would work towards strengthening both its organisational structure and the government to ensure effective governance and better redressal of public grievances.
