Srinagar, Jan 26 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President and Member Parliament Dr. Farooq Abdullah hoisted the Tricolour at his Gupkar residence on the occasion of 74th Republic Day celebrations on Thursday.
Speaking at the event, Farooq said, “Least we forget the Father of the Nation, Gandhi Ji, and numerous other freedom fighters, whose suffering and sacrifice have rendered the attainment of Independence and establishment of this sovereign democratic republic possible.”
The former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir said, “Credit must be given to the founding fathers of our Constitution for envisioning such a sacrosanct document that upholds fraternity, secularism, federalism and confers upon citizenry equal rights without discrimination of caste, greed, religion and region. I hope and pray this founding document of our country is practised in letter and spirit”, he added.
