Srinagar: National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday called for strengthening the opposition’s INDIA bloc to save the country’s “secular visage”.
“There is a need to make the INDIA bloc strong so that the country is saved from the disaster the BJP has done in the last 10 years,” a National Conference statement quoted Abdullah as saying.
The Lok Sabha MP from Srinagar said his son Omar Abdullah is in constant contact with the Congress and a decision on the seat-share arrangement for the parliamentary polls will come to the fore in the coming days.
“Omar (Abdullah) is talking with them and hopefully a decision on seat sharing will come out in the coming days. It is imperative to make the INDIA alliance strong. Being a part of the country, we have to make this alliance powerful,” Abdullah added.
