Examiner Bureau | Srinagar:
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday asserted that the National Conference (NC) would remain steadfast in its political ideology and would not compromise its principles for the sake of power, emphasizing that the party’s values were “not for sale.”
Speaking to reporters during a visit to Bandipora district, Omar Abdullah said that while every political party was free to make its own decisions, the National Conference’s position remained clear and consistent.
“The National Conference has a long political legacy and a set of values that guide its decisions. Those principles are not for sale,” he said while responding to a question regarding reports of some opposition Members of Parliament extending support to the NDA on certain issues.
The Chief Minister maintained that the party’s primary commitment was to the people of Jammu and Kashmir and not to securing political advantage through shifting alliances or opportunistic political arrangements.
His remarks came during a tour of various development sites in Bandipora, where he reviewed the progress of ongoing projects and assessed the status of infrastructure works across the district.
