Abdullah also called for the opposition leaders to unite and work for a united India.

“I demand from him (MK Stalin) & all the leaders-wake up, unite & build a nation where all of us can live in honour & dignity&peace. It’s the people of India that make the nation strong. It’s not Army, Navy & Air Force. Let us get together and work in harmony” Abdullah said.
