National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah on Saturday launched its election campaign for the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council-Kargil (LAHDC-K) polls, weeks after the party won a legal battle to retain the party symbol, plough, for the Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh.
During the road trip of the region on Saturday, Mr. Abdullah, while referring to BJP MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal’s statements, said, “The BJP MP had claimed our party symbol has been removed forever from this region. Our symbol won’t go so easily. It is etched on the hearts of the people. That MP will be forgotten, not our symbol”.
Senior leaders including Nasir Aslam Wani, Agha Ruhullah and Tanvir Sadiq accompanied Mr. Abdullah. Exuding confidence in winning the upcoming hill council polls scheduled for October 4, Mr. Abdullah said the NC-Congress coalition would win the election. “The coalition will send a message to the entire country that Kargil has faced injustice,” Mr. Abdullah said.
