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.

“To (Mallikarjun) Kharge Ji, I’ll say, let’s forget who’s going to become the PM. Let’s first win elections, then think about how who will become PM. PM doesn’t matter, nation matters” he said.
