SRINAGAR: National Conference Party Vice President Omar Abdullah chaired a meeting of the party’s Media and Communication wing at the party headquarters Nawa-e-Subha.
Exhorting the party’s social media functionaries to enhance communication with constituents and build awareness around the party’s initiatives, Omar said that social media has risen to play a significant role in the communications strategies of the party’s policies and programmes.
“We should also use different social media platforms to keep the general public informed and updated about important issues and engage with them at a deeper level. Additionally, social media is an excellent space for campaign messaging,” he said.
Omar asked the functionaries to maintain utmost decency in virtual spaces by refraining from slander. “Our mission should be to highlight the achievements of our party. Dispel myths and garner support. We have to fight false propaganda with facts and figures. We have to show a mirror to the authorities and lend voice to the voiceless. I’m hopeful that the dedicated team of our media functionaries will keep up with their good work.”
