JK Guv Pays Tribute To NC Founder On His Death Anniversary

Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik on Saturday recalled National Conference founder and former chief minister Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah’s contribution to the nation-building and development of the state. Paying rich tribute to the late leader on his death anniversary, Malik, in a message, referred to crucial land reforms pioneered by Abdullah and said it laid the foundation of equitable development of the state.

He also accorded high priority to the establishment of health and education facilities, the governor recalled. “The best tribute which could be paid to Sheikh Sahib would be for the people to work with a missionary zeal for strengthening Jammu and Kashmir’s deep-rooted secular traditions and the bonds of communal harmony, brotherhood, and amity, for ensuring peace, progress, and prosperity in the region,” a Raj Bhawan quoted Malik as saying.
