Asserting that rivals will not be able to erase the historic role played by National Conference (NC) in Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said his party is the people of the state.
"NC is not the creation of any 'Agency' and its dictation, its command and its strength is the people of Jammu and Kashmir," Omar said addressing party workers' conventions at Neel, Kastigarh, Razgarh and Ukral in Banihal and Ramban Assembly constituencies this evening.
"Our headquarters is the people of the state and we take only their dictation and command," he said maintaining that power has never been the goal of NC.
He also said NC is not like other parties which change their minds and views with the changing winds to grab power.
Rivals will not be able to erase the historic role NC has played, even during challenging times, to uphold people's cause and seek political and economic stability for Jammu and Kashmir, he said.
The NC Working President underlined that NC had created necessary thaw in Indo-Pak relations and made the "table" the only means to settle issues, and said friendly relations between the two neighbours has been and will remain NC's core political viewpoint.
Stressing on NC's efforts to achieve political and economic stability in the state, Omar said against plans to bring in economic measures to solve the Kashmir issue, he had highlighted to the Centre the importance of resolving the issue politically.
