NC to hold district-level conventions, membership drive

Srinagar, May 7: The ruling National Conference (NC) has decided to hold district-level conventions and launch a membership drive ahead of its organisational elections in 2027.
Sources said that NC’s provincial working committee meeting chaired by NC president Dr. Farooq Abdullah and attended by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, cabinet ministers, legislators, and party office-bearers, decided that conventions will kick off across the Kashmir Valley later this month, with a detailed roster expected within three days.
The party also decided to initiate a membership drive in preparation for the organisational elections scheduled for 2027.
According to sources, a few MLAs of the party complained against certain ministers, while some also raised objections to the appointment of the district president in Bandipora without their consultation.
According to sources, NC president Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Vice-president Omar Abdullah urged MLAs and party leaders to remain responsive to the public and actively engage with people in their constituencies. “They also asked them to work towards strengthening the party,” the sources said.
Talking to reporters after chairing the meeting, NC president Dr. Farooq Abdullah said the meeting discussed all issues and ways to strengthen the organisation.
MLA Zadibal and NC spokesman Tanvir Sadiq said the meeting discussed developmental issues and the problems faced by the common man. (KNO)
