NEW DELHI: Emerging from a three-hour-long meeting with a group of 16 dissenting MLAs, National Conference (NC) president and patron Farooq Abdullah recently sought to dismiss rumours of factionalism within the party.
Declaring the NC remains united, Abdullah nevertheless acknowledged that the concerns raised by the legislators were genuine.
“The baseless news spreading that the National Conference is fragmented is completely incorrect,” Abdullah said on November 6 after the marathon meeting. He was flanked by the dissenting lawmakers.
“Ye jamaat munazzam hai (The party is fully organised). Those who think they can break this party should know this party has never been broken, and will never be, Insha’Allah,” he declared.
“We have spoken to them. Their issues were genuine, and these were deliberated upon very carefully,” Abdullah said, referring to the meeting with MLAs who had submitted a memorandum to the party leadership, including chief minister Omar Abdullah. It details demands and concerns about the recent cabinet reshuffle and the functioning of both the Omar-led government and the party.
