Srinagar: The former parliament member and National Conference (NC) leader Shareef-ud-din Shariq Saturday said his reports of leaving the party are incorrect and that he would strive to strengthen the party in days to come.
The reports that galore earlier about me bidding farewell to NC are incorrect. I would be a hypocrite if I leave the party at present. Rather I am striving to strengthen the party at grass roots. I have been with NC since decades and how could I leave this party at present, says Shariq, adding that his party needs him most at present.
It was NC took me from a far off village to parliament and accorded me fame and respect. It would be unfortunate if someone reports that I am leaving the party, he said.
Over the return of the mortal remains of Afzal Guru from Tihar jail, Shariq said that NC has no objection if the remains of Guru would be brought back to valley for the last rites. So far the party has not decided whether to support the resolution in assembly or not but my personal opinion is that Gurus remains must be returned, the former MP said.
The senior NC leader stated that GoI must not remain reluctant to take such initiatives which would ensure peace and stability in Jammu and Kashmir. It would indeed not be disastrous as being projected if the political prisoners are released. Why such hue and cry is being raised
