‘Completely False’: Farooq Abdullah Dismisses Reports Of NC Rift After Meeting Disgruntled MLAs

National Conference supremo Farooq Abdullah has rejected reports of divisions within the party, asserting that the organisation remains united despite discontent over the recent cabinet expansion in Jammu and Kashmir. His remarks came after he and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah met 15 party MLAs at their Gupkar residence in Srinagar. Farooq acknowledged that legislators had raised genuine grievances and said the leadership would take steps to address their concerns, some immediately and others gradually. The meeting follows resentment among senior leaders, including Mubarak Gul, after four ministers were inducted on October 27. The party is also facing a setback following Srinagar MP Ruhullah Mehdi’s resignation from the National Conference and relinquishment of his parliamentary seat.
