Every Election Has Divided India; Bold PM Needed To Hold Everybody Together: Farooq Abdullah

Mumbai: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah has said that India needs a “courageous” prime minister who can hold everyone together and not divide them for the sake of politics, asserting that every election divided the country.

Speaking at a book release event, the National Conference (NC) chief said, “India needs a courageous Prime Minister who can hold everyone together and not divide for politics, but can hold the whole of India, be it Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, whatever, this is what India needs.

“India doesn’t need divisions. The tragedy is every election has divided India and the Indian people. When will that day come when no longer we will be divided on religion,” he said.

He further said that India will never be strong unless the people of India are strong.

The event was organized for the book written on the life of former PM HD Deve Gowda. Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh and CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury were present at the event.
