The National Conference (NC) on Wednesday expressed disappointment over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s failure to match up to his statement made during the 2021 all–party meeting in New Delhi with J&K parties. It also deplored the harassment meted out to journalists in Kashmir.
The meeting of the Central Working Committee of the NC, chaired by party president Farooq Abdullah, was held in Srinagar where all the top leaders had jointly expressed disappointment over the failure of any follow up to the much–hyped meeting in Delhi chaired by the PM.
“Nothing much has been done towards the much–touted ‘Dil Ki doori aur Dilli se Doori’ remark made in the meet by the PM. Neither were the hearts connected nor was the distance between J&K and Delhi bridged. The CWC regretted that the meeting did not translate into any concrete steps and follow up by the Government of India,” an NC spokesman said.
