Srinagar, Oct 13: National Conference President, Dr Farooq Abdullah Wednesday said that a “storm has engulfed the entire India where communities are being divided and if the same won’t stop forthwith, the country won’t exist anymore”.
According to news agency KNO, the NC President made the remarks while talking to the media on the sidelines of his visit to the residence of slain school principal Supinder Kour at Aloochibagh area of Srinagar on Wednesday.
