The national conference leader joined several leaders from the opposition parties at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi where thousands of farmers from across the country have gathered to press for their demands, including debt relief and remunerative prices for their produce.
Abdullah, in his address at the venue, said Kashmir was a part of India and would always remain a part of it, and added, “Kashmiris are standing with farmers and support them in their rights”.
“We all know your plight. We know how you spend everything on your farms and when you do not get the right produce you have to starve. The farmers’ movement to Delhi is a wake up call for the government,” he said.
He also added that Muslims were not against the construction of Ram Temple.
“Muslims are not against the temple. The hatred that is being spread by the government that Muslims are against the Ram Mandir is not true. Whenever elections come, these people remember Ram,” he said.
