Stating that "politics of hate" is the biggest threat to the country's unity, National Conference (NC) chief Farooq Abdullah has asked its propagators to stay away from Jammu and Kashmir. He has also cautioned the people of the state against "communal polarisation" ahead of the scheduled panchayat polls. "There is no threat to any religion. If there is a danger at all, it is the politics of hate, which has been serving as a shield to the communal elements," Abdullah said at a meeting of senior party leaders at the NC headquarters here yesterday.
