Dr. Farooq, Omar address party meeting
Will personally go to every Block: Omar
Srinagar: National Conference Party President Dr. Farooq Abdullah has appointed Senior NC leader and Minister for Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, Ali Mohammad Sagar as the new General Secretary of the party.
According to a statement issued to KNS, at a meeting of NC office-bearers and functionaries convened at NC Headquarters at Nawa-e-Subah Complex in Srinagar, Party President Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Working President and J&K CM Omar said the contributions of Sheikh Nazir Ahmed in building National Conference and nurturing it through some of the harshest times will be written in golden letters in the history of this nation.
Dr. Farooq said that unfortunately Sheikh Nazir Ahmed’s health had deteriorated over the years after decades of selfless service to the institution and roots of National Conference. “Sheikh Nazir Sahab’s health does not allow him to move out and despite that he has continued to serve this party with sweat and blood. However, the need of the hour is to reach out to the workers and the public in every nook and cranny of this State and the party has decided to appoint Ali Mohammad Sagar as the new General Secretary of the party to reach out to the grassroots and leave no stone unturned to consolidate and augment the enviable organizational strength of the party,” Dr. Farooq said, according to a statement issued to KNS.
NC Working President and J&K CM Omar Abdullah while lauding Sheikh Nazir Ahmed’s contributions to National Conference said the service rendered by Sheikh Nazir for National Conference over decades was both extraordinary and exemplary. Omar said that the party has decided to appoint Sagar as the General Secretary of the party to strengthen the hands of the workers and the cadre. “Sagar Sahab will receive total and complete cooperation from us in his endeavors to strengthen the party and ensure that the workers are heard, respected for their views and acknowledged in their service,” Omar said.
Omar said that it was easy to take over a position of responsibility in easier, smoother times but it was the test of leadership and caliber to take over such a responsibility at a time that demands enormous hard work and dedication. Omar said that Sagar’s efforts would be complimented with active cooperation and engagement at every step.
Thanking NC Party President Dr. Farooq, Working President Omar and Sheikh Nazir for reposing faith in him, NC General Secretary Sagar said that he would leave no stone unturned to consolidate the rank and file of the party and reach out to the grassroots level workers to alleviate both their grievances and those of the public. Senior NC Leaders, Ministers, MLAs, MLCs, scores of party delegates and workers congratulated Sagar on this occasion and expressed their complete and total support to his future endeavors for the party.
