Sawhney also took stock of ongoing issues which will be tackled by the party and outlined the strategy for the implementation of the upcoming party programs, urging the members to ensure their smooth execution. A full fledged road map as guided by the party leadership will direct the members towards forming a foundation for the elections as well, said Sawhney.
On the occasion, Sawhney also targeted the BJP Government for ignoring issues of the people of Jammu on the national podium. He said that Congress is dedicated to the cause of people and resolve their issue. “We have to work together to defeat the BJP electorally and democratically in order to achieve that objective,” he said, adding that the campaign started by Rahul Gandhi against hatred, violence and fear in society is an important movement in today’s context.
