THATHRI, Mar 31: Making an emotional pitch to voters to vote and support the Congress in the ongoing Parliament polls, JKPCC vice president and former Minister, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori said that his party was fighting against divisive and exploitive forces, which are hell bent to destroy love and harmony not only in the State of Jammu and Kashmir, but in entire nation.
The senior Congress leader, while addressing impressive road shows cum public meetings at Thathri where people gave Saroori, Mohammad Sharief Naiz, Mohammad Aslam Goni, Naresh Gupta, Sheikh Mujeeb, Thakur Nagar Singh and others rousing receptions, pledged to make Congress party candidate Vikramaditiya Singh win with thumping majority.
Saroori sought mandate of the people for Congress candidate to accelerate developmental activities in remotest and far-flung areas. He said that Congress was committed to counter and defeat divisive forces tooth and nail and would always work for development of Jammu and Kashmir irrespective of any caste, colour or religion.
Saroori reminded the people about various developmental projects which he had started for the development of this Assembly constituency. “Many projects started during Congress Government are still incomplete due to BJP failure”, he said and sought vote and support of the people to finish that incomplete projects to improve their socio-economic conditions.
In his address, Mohammed Sharief Niaz described Congress party as synonym to development, secularism and national integrity. “After Independence, it was Congress that scripted the future of the country and advanced towards the path of development. Development in any sphere cannot be done over night but the consistent and committed efforts of Congress has brought India on the world map, which is now one among the leading nation of the world,” he added.
In his address, Naresh Kumar Gupta said, “J&K people are wise enough not to be swayed down by these opportunist politicians. They will definitely reject their dangerous agenda for division of our society and shall, only, choose path towards peace, development and prosperity.
