“Men never allowed women to progress in society…”: Farooq Abdullah
JAMMU: Farooq Abdullah, the president of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC), stated on Friday that men have never permitted women to advance in society and that equal opportunities must be provided to both sexes for the benefit of the country. On International Women's Day, Farooq Abdullah went to a party in Jammu's Bishnah. Farooq Abdullah spoke to the party workers and asked, "Why is this day being celebrated today? The reason for this is that men have never let women advance. That is the reality. They always limited them to household tasks.Many women choose to keep quiet about domestic abuse because they wish to preserve their home's honour. Farooq asserted that a guy cannot manage his home by himself these days because of the escalating costs of necessities, saying, "Observe the costs of veggies and petrol, dal. A guy cannot manage his home by himself as long as women do not enter the workforce. The family will never be without problems." He also urged staff members of the National Conference to support female candidates in the Union Territory's upcoming panchayat elections. It is important to promote women's involvement in the impending panchayat elections. Get ready for the next elections by preparing the women who can listen to public concerns and work for society. We desire equal opportunity for men and women," he declared. Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished happy International Women's Day earlier today. He has also praised Nari Shakti's achievements in a variety of sectors and praised their fortitude, bravery, and resiliency. On this International Women's Day, greetings! We honour our Nari Shakti's accomplishments in a variety of professions and applaud their power, courage, and resilience. Through programmes in business, education, technology, agriculture, and other areas, our government is dedicated to empowering women. Our achievements over the past ten years also demonstrate this," PM Modi wrote on X.
