Speaking on the occasion, JKPCC president said that Congress Party believes in serving and uniting people. “We are duty bound to make Govt accountable and answerable to people for failing them on all counts and ensure justice to every section living in the country,” Wani said.
He appealed the people to strengthen Congress Party, for the fact, Congress is extremely concerned about their well being, it will continue to fight for their (people’s) rights whether in power or out of power.

Wani also slammed the lathi-charge on agitating youth in Jammu who were protesting against hiring of a black listed Aptech company by JKSSB for conducting written examinations and termed it a surprising move. Hiring Aptech for the examination is unacceptable and uncalled for, Wani said and demanded immediate revocation of the order.
