Former Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) president Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Thursday said Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed eras of development during the NC rule.
Dr. Abdullah’s statement comes a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah challenged the National Conference to come up with its report card on account of development made in J&K since 1947. The NC came under attack from Mr. Shah in a speech made at a public rally in Baramulla on Wednesday.
“J&K has witnessed eras of development, ushering its people into political, economic and social empowerment. Despite the decades of turmoil, J&K State rose to the top among Indian States in terms of major development indices,” Dr. Abdullah said.
