Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah today decried reactionary and communal politics, saying this may accrue short term gains for some but ultimately its fallout on secular fabric could be disastrous.
"National Conference has always fought against politics of divide, as it believes in inclusiveness and homogeneous social order.
"The reactionary and communal politics, saying this may accrue short term gains for some but ultimately its fallout on secular fabric could be disastrous", he said while addressing workers rally in Nagrota Assembly Constituency today.
He said his party has always put public welfare and development of Jammu and Kashmir as its core agenda and worked towards the empowerment of people in all the three regions.
"Jammu and Kashmir has to grow and flourish as a single entity and those exploiting sentimental politics were actually playing with this unique characteristic of the State", he said.
