National Conference president Farooq Abdullah today asked people from every section of the society to unite and defeat the evil designs of those who spread hatred and vitiate the atmosphere.

The country is going through very tough times. The forces inimical to the unity are out on the loose and their only concern is to spread hatred and vitiate the peaceful atmosphere, he said.

Therefore, it is upon all of us to defeat the evil designs, the NC leader said during an interaction with students at his Gupkar residence here.

He asked students from the Jamia Zia-ul-Uloom, a Higher Secondary School in Poonch, to learn the Holy Quran and imbibe the teachings of Islam in its true spirit.
 

"It is our primary duty to spread Islam as a Muslim. The path is in front of you which is to first learn and then spread the teachings of the Holy book and help others understand it. Therefore, it becomes your duty to spread Islam," Abdullah said.

The NC president later distributed shawls and caps among the students, and appreciated the work being done by the school's founder, Moulana Ghulam Qadir Banday, who is a member of the All India Personal Law Board.
