Addressing party workers meeting in Saura area of Zadibal constituency here today, Mr Mir said that Congress party represents aspirations of the people in all the three regions. Being the only unifying and secular force, Congress has always safeguarded the integrity and sovereignty of the country by uniting the communities from various religions.

Mir said that Congress would continue to fight and defeat the designs of anti- peace and anti- social elements, who pose a great threat to integrity of the State. We will neither compromise on the interests and aspirations of the people nor would allow any group or force to play with the emotions of people, he added.
He expressed confidence that politics of polarization and exploitation won’t deter the Congress to fight against elements aiming to create divisions among the communities in the State.
Expressing serious concern over the efforts by some disgruntled elements in the society to divide the people on religion or regional basis, PCC chief said that efforts are being made to create an atmosphere of uncertainty and sense of insecurity among the people. He cautioned the people to remain vigilant and defeat the designs of forces attempting to create wedge and misunderstanding between the communities by misleading them, he said.
Referring to the issues confronting people in district Srinagar, Mir said that PDP- BJP Govt has not only ignored people of Srinagar; but in other districts also, there was a need for comprehensive employment package for the educated unemployed youth. He said youth of the State feel isolated and ignored due to wrong policies of Coalition Govt.
