Srinagar, 11 Aug (KNS) : The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr. Farooq Abdullah Monday addressed the organizational meeting of the Youth National Conference (YNC) at the party headquarters bringing together YNC Provincial Committee members, District Presidents and Zone committees of the YNC.
Describing YNC as a "springboard for future leaders and legislators," Dr. Abdullah urged the young office-bearers to serve the people with integrity, character, and commitment. He emphasized that the youth wing is not just a support structure but an essential force that will shape the political direction of Jammu and Kashmir in the years ahead.
“You must be prepared not just politically, but intellectually as well. Our region has a rich and complex history, and I urge every youth functionary to read and understand the history of the National Conference and Jammu and Kashmir. Without knowing where we come from, we cannot lead the people forward,” Dr. Abdullah said.
He also exhorted the youth leaders to proactively prepare for the upcoming Urban Local Body (ULB) and Panchayat elections, stating that grassroots engagement is the backbone of a strong democratic structure.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel“Whenever these elections are announced, we must be ready on the ground to represent the people and defend their rights,” he added.
