I am not stepping down: Dr Farooq

GK NEWS NETWORK

Srinagar, July 21: The Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Dr Farooq Abdullah, has dispelled the rumors about him intending to step down as the National Conference president.   
 “I have no intention to step down. Yes, I am getting old and the party would find a new president when the time comes for that. As of now, I shall not be stepping down from the post,” Dr Abdullah told state run Radio Kashmir on Wednesday.
 NC insiders said that earlier Dr Abdullah chaired the meeting of the senior party leaders which among others was attended by the party general secretary Sheikh Nazir.    
 The meeting, according to party sources, was a prelude to Thursday's working committee meet of the National Conference, which is likely to deliberate on activating the grassroots level cadre of the party to push forward a political initiative in light of the present cycle of violence in the Kashmir Valley.
