"Expressing concern over the alarming trend of 'intolerance', the NC today urged Governor N N Vohra to use his moral authority to impress upon the 'divisive politicians' to shun the politics of hate, and work towards building a harmonious society based on love, compassion and brotherhood," a 16-member NC delegation led by party's provincial president Devender Singh Rana said in a statement here.
"We deplore the attempts being made to divide the three distinct regions of the state on the basis of religion," the delegation said in the memorandum.
"More worrisome fact is that divisiveness is being promoted covertly by those under the oath of defending the unity of the state," the delegation said.
