Senior NC leader and state Finance Minister Abdul Rahim
Rather advocated following the footsteps of former state chief
minister Sheikh Abdullah, who staunchly supported the
decentralisation of powers from the corridors of secretariat
to the grass root level.
"We have to follow the road map conceived by the party founder Sheikh Abdullah for addressing Kashmir issue within the frame work of National Conference`s autonomy resolution," Rather said. Abdullah was a staunch supporter of the decentralisation of powers from the corridors of secretariat to the grass root level, Rather said while addressing a public meet at Handwara, 90 kms from here Taking forward his grandfather`s mission, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah empowered Panchs and Sarpanchs to ensure their active involvement in plan formulation and programme implementation, he said.
