Congress seeks restoration of democratic rights in J&K
Anantnag: J&K Pradesh Congress Committee Thursday held a booth-level meeting at Bedermuna in the Halqa Changoo area of Dooru Constituency of South Kashmir reiterating to defeat the designs of BJP while terming the party responsible for the dismay and restlessness found amongst people in J&K.
Former J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Ghulam Ahmad Mir while addressing Party delegates termed these meetings as an initiative to assess the ground situation and the issues confronting people in absence of the elected Govt. “These meetings were bound to invigorate the Cadres and common people ensuring that they gear up for the upcoming political challenges.”
“Congress also want to send a strong message to BJP and its offshoots that our party could not be weakened by their falsehood and misleading politics in order to hide its failures on all fronts,” said Mir adding that it is the Congress party alone that will make them accountable to people for making false promises and failing them on all fronts.
Mir said that J&K people were facing tremendous hardships due to the policies adopted by the BJP Govt towards J&K. “Strenuous efforts were also being made to portray J&K as having gained impetus in respect of development and prosperity, but the fact remains they (people) have been pushed to the wall on employment, economic and development fronts they were being coerced not to agitate for resolutions of their issues thereby strangulating the democratic rights in J&K,” he added.
“Congress party assures people that it will make endeavors to ensure redressal of issues and also make serious efforts to bring back Statehood with constitutional grantees besides ensuring that people have their own Govt which would be accountable and answerable to them,” Mir said.
