Bari Brahmna: Pradesh Congress Committee president, Vikar Rasool, has criticized the Union Territory administration for being irresponsive towards resolving people’s burning problems and instead adding to their woes by unleashing “tax terror” under the falsification of UT of Jammu and Kashmir at par with rest of the country.
“While people are facing hardships in view of poor civic amenities, unemployment, rampant corruption, and repeated destruction of crops due to vagaries of weather, the administration under Lt Governor is only indulging in self-praise merely to grab headlines,” said Vikar.
Addressing a mass dharna held here today in connection with Congress’s ongoing “Jai Bharat Satyagrah” in protest against the “Narendra Modi government’s inaction against unemployment, encouraging crony capitalism and repeated attempts to muzzle democratic institutions against which former party president Rahul Gandhi has been raising voice”, Vikar said that nothing will deter the Congress leaders and rank and file from carrying forward the mission of Gandhi to expose “misdeeds” of this government. “The crony capitalism being encouraged by Mr. Modi through backing a handful of his friends is posing a serious threat to the national security as his friendly Adani group is working in close proximity with some Chinese companies.”
The mass dharna which was followed by a protest march organised by AICC member and senior advocate Mohinder Bhardwaj, was attended by a large number of people from neighboring Vijaypur and Bishnah assembly constituencies.
The participants raised slogans against the Modi government and the UT administration for not resolving even their routine problems.
