Says Opposition Has To Unite To Win 2024 Lok Sabha Elections
Srinagar- Former Chief Minister and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Saturday said that Mughal history cannot be erased and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led government was hitting their own feet with an axe with such actions.
“How will they forget Shah Jahan, Aurangzeb, Akbar, Babar, Humayun and Jahangir? They ruled for 800 years. No Hindu, Muslim, Sikh or Christian felt threatened. When they will show Taj Mahal, what will they say who built it? What will they say about Fatehpur Sikri where the Mughal crown was before moving to Delhi? How will they hide Humayun’s tomb and Red Fort?” Abdullah asked.
He was replying in response to a question about the issue of removal of certain portions related to Mughals from NCERT textbooks by reporters at Larnoo in Anantnag district.
“They are hitting their own feet with an axe. History won’t change. We won’t remain but history will remain,” the NC leader said.
On China renaming some villages in Arunachal Pradesh, Abdullah said India is not ready to accept the claim which China had made earlier as well.
The Lok Sabha member from Srinagar also said that opposition parties will have to unite if they want to win elections against the BJP.
He said discussions are going on and “I can see good results coming on the unity front (at the national level)”.
“Alliance is the only thing which will unite us. We cannot fight individually. That is why even the opposition parties at the national level are trying to find ways to unite so that we can win the elections,” Abdullah said in response to a question by reporters at Larnoo in Anantnag district.
