The 87-year-old leader, sitting inside the ashram, was handed the mic by the person singing the bhajan.

The red scarf, traditionally associated with the pilgrims of Vaishno Devi, was also worn on this occasion.

Farooq Abdullah expressed solidarity with the Katra residents who have been protesting against the ropeway project in the city. He said thu while addressing the programme on Thursday that the managers of the Vaishno Devi shrine must not make life difficult for the residents of the city.

“Those managing the shrine’s operations should avoid actions that harm the local population or create difficulties for them," he said, while lauding the locals who fought ‘valiantly’.

Abdullah also slammed the construction of the ropeway, stating that it has been started without taking into consideration the interests of the city.

“They now understand that power resides with the people, not the government," he said, in an apparent reference to the LG.

“The people living in these hills rely on Mata’s blessings for their livelihood. But they have been overlooked. Those in power believe they are invincible, but they are not. When divine power prevails, everything else diminishes. Just look at what’s happening in California," he said.

He added that the core teachings of every religion are the same, however, it is exploited by people who have selfish motives.
