Highlighting merits of unity and reminding people of the sacrifices made by Congress to strengthen communal harmony, solidarity and unison between various sections of the society in the State, Saroori said that dividing people in the name of region or religion can be the handwork of ‘pen and ink pot’ (symbol of PDP) or ‘Kamal’ (symbol of BJP), but the Congress has always worked to unite the communities and harmonize in Jammu and Kashmir especially in Inderwal.
“The slogan of Hindu, Muslim Sikh Itihad Zindabad practiced and nurtured by Mahatma Gandhi has remained the governing principle of Congress political policy”, he said and vowed his party’s determination to further strengthen this characteristic.
Advising the people of the area to live in harmony and reject those who try to wedge them apart on communal lines, Saroori told them to complement each others’ efforts aimed at welfare and development of weaker sections.

He said Congress symbolizes their aspirations and works for their unity to help their equitable, holistic and all round development.
