ANANTNAG, Feb 22: All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary and former JKPCC president Ghulam Ahmad Mir today expressed serious concern over the hardships confronting the public due to the recent snowfall in Kapran, Verinag, Doru and elsewhere in South Kashmir.
Mir also said that few inches of snow have exposed the tall claims of J&K Administration, besides the failures to ensure appropriate supply of electricity and lack of development added woes to the public. One fails to understand as to how the JK Administration deals with the local issues, Mir rued.
AICC general secretary was addressing a Congress workers’ meeting in Verinag area of South Kashmir, where he (Mir) was apprised of the organizational activities, besides many other matters confronting J&K in absence of the democratic setup were also discussed. On this occasion, Mir urged the workers to vigorously take the Party’s programmes and policies to every household and seek their support to defeat the designs and wrong policies of the BJP.
On this occasion, Mir lamented the fact that few inches of snow have exposed the tall claims of the Govt, terming the inability and inaction with regard to snow clearance, rampant power outages and absence of other facilities as unfortunate and matter of serious concern while laying emphasis over ensuring basic facilities to public, besides ensuring snow clearance in Kapran, Verinag, Dooru and interiors in other areas covered with the snow in South Kashmir.
Referring to the BJP’s flawed policies, Mir said BJP Govt’s diversionary tactics and suppression unleashed aiming to hide failures on all fronts shall not work. Congress Party with the public support will ensure that BJP’s political exploitation, misleading politics and polarization policy for the lust of power will be defeated.
Congress Party feels the anguish among the public in J&K, who have been pushed toward darkness on economic, employment, developmental and various other fronts by the BJP Govt, it (Congress) will do its utmost to ensure justice, AICC leader said.
