ANANTNAG, July 28: All India Congress Committee general secretary and former JKPCC chief Ghulam Ahmed Mir today said that  Indian National Congress (INC) is the only alternative in the country fully capable of defeating communal and divisive policies of BJP.
He said BJP has the habit of creating fissures amongst the communities for the lust of power, but the Congress always fought and will continue to fight for justice, equality and safeguarding rights of every section of the people living in the country.
“It has always been the Party’s great endeavour to serve people equally, and will continue to strive hard for their equitable development,” Mir said while addressing party workers of Block Shahbad at Manzmou in Dooru area of Anantnag.
He claimed that Congress has always been at the forefront to ensure an atmosphere of unity and brotherhood in the country and never compromised on its stated position of fighting and defeating the communal and divisive politics of BJP. Nation has been witnessing how BJP creates fissures amongst the communities for political gains, at the same time, it (Nation) also realizes that Congress is the only alternative which poses great challenges to BJP’s endeavour to divide public on region and religions basis.
Mir criticized BJP for pushing J&K towards darkness to serve its political agenda, but the people have rejected its (BJP’s) policies and decisions and they will continue to oppose BJP’s experiments and misadventures with respect to Jammu and Kashmir.
AICC leader urged Party workers to remain steadfast to highlight public issues especially unemployment menace, development deficit, economic backwardness and many other issues like lack of developmental at grass roots and asked them try their best to seek resolution.
“The suspension of democratic process in J&K is unprecedented, a direct assault on people’s rights, be it the freedom to fight for development, freedom to question Govt policies or be it the freedom to  seek resolution of issues,” Mir said adding  that the uncompromising fight  of the Congress Party against BJP’s anti-people policies shall continue.
