Former minister said Congress is fully capable to defeat the communal and fascist forces which are hell bent upon to divide the people on religious and regional lines to serve their vested interests, but at the same time, he said people of JK UT have realized the politics gimmicks of various groups and parties which were trying to make inroads in JK to create confusion among the voters. He stressed upon the people to remain vigilant against the political exploitation by BJP and ensure support to Congress Party.

While reiterating the demand for immediate stoppage of Toll Plaza at Sarore, Bhalla said that BJP is totally indifferent to the genuine demand which will affect all section of people from various parts of the country, being tourist and pilgrims’ state.
