SRINAGAR, Nov 28: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president Ghulam Ahmad Mir today asked the Centre to restore the dignity and honour of the J&K by granting Statehood, besides restoring democratic rights to the people of J&K.
Mir also termed the Congress party only unifying force capable enough to defeat maneuvering to divide people on the basis of their region or religion aiming to gain political mileage on the part of BJP. He was addressing a largely attended party workers’ convention at Wachoo (Sukhannag) in Khansaheb area of Budgam district. The convention was part of Party’s Jan Jagran Abhiyaan, an initiative to highlight the wrong policies of the Centre towards people.
Senior party leaders and former legislators including JKPCC vice president Haji Abdul Rashid Dar, Bashir Ahmad Magrey and Gulzar Ahmad Wani, DCC presidents Abdul Gani Khan, Umer Jaan, Firdous Nabi, Bilal Ahmad Khan, Showket Ahmad Malik, Aneesa Gul, Kadfeen Chowdhary, Asif Beigh and others addressed the convention.
On the occasion, JKPCC president urged the people to rise to the occasion to support congress party in its endeavor to ensure that their problems and issues such as unemployment, developmental, economical, security and various other issues are addressed, besides ensuring equal treatment to every section living in J&K.
JKPCC president expressed anguish over the way BJP Government was treating people of J&K and said people were feeling disappointed over the deteriorating security situation, lack of development, rising unemployment and other multiple issues concerning people. He slammed the Central Government for failing to deliver after making tall claims and promises on account of good governance, employment, developmental etc.
Mir said Congress Party has the history of 136 years of service to the people, it has witnessed many ups and downs, but despite that party stood against all odds and obstacles and was capable enough to face whatever situation comes its way. Though the BJP was apparently hell bent upon to weaken the Congress Party aiming to suppress the dissent, for that matter, party workers, leaders and people of J&K must rise to the occasion to defeat such designs, Mir told the party workers.
On the occasion, JKPCC president led the impressive road show in which hundreds of people participated.
