National Conference president and MP Farooq Abdullah visited the Amarnath Yatri Niwas at Pantha Chowk here on Saturday to take stock of the facilities being provided to the pilgrims. After interacting with the pilgrims at Amarnath Yatri Niwas, Abdullah expressed satisfaction over the facilities being made available for them, a National Conference (NC) spokesperson said.
Underscoring the traditional pluralistic ethos of the Valley, the MP from Srinagar said Kashmiri people have been welcoming the pilgrims for decades.
“The Valley boasts of robust secular tradition which is motored by Sufi teachings. Inter-religious harmony has been the mainstay of Kashmiri culture. There is a great scope of improving the facilities being provided to pilgrims,” Abdullah said.
