Political leader and former legislator Pahalgam Rafi Ahmad Mir today made a strong appeal for unity among political leaders, emphasizing that the present challenges demand collective wisdom, maturity, and a united political voice. He stressed that personal and party differences must be set aside in the larger interest of the people. Highlighting the urgency of the situation, Rafi Ahmad Mir specifically appealed to tallest leader of J&K, Dr. Farooq Abdullah to take a leading role in bringing together all political forces on a common platform. He said that Dr. Abdullah’s experience, stature, and credibility can play a decisive role in uniting the people and leadership around shared concerns. Rafi Ahmad Mir underscored that issues such as the restoration of special status, the return of full statehood, and the protection of the rights, identity, and dignity of Kashmiris are common causes that transcend party lines. “These are not the issues of one party or one leader; they are the collective aspirations of the people,” he said. He further stated that silence, division, or political fragmentation only weakens the voice of the people. “Unity is our strength. A united leadership can effectively represent the aspirations of Kashmiris and ensure that their genuine concerns are addressed,” he added. Rafi Ahmad Mir concluded by urging all political leaders to rise above narrow interests, respond to the call of the time, and stand together for the future, rights, and dignity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
