RAJOURI, Dec 5: Shabir Ahmed Khan, former Minister and MLA Rajouri while continuing his campaign conducted a series of meeting at Behrote, Gurdan, Kheora and Keri in Rajouri constituency.
Addressing public gatherings at various places, Khan recalled that Congress gave a new paradigm of development to J&K from 2006-2008. He cautioned the people of Pir-Panjal to stand united against the conspiracies being hatched by outside forces to divide them. Those who don’t want this region of Pir-Panjal range to flourish are plotting and conspiring against it by dividing the people on religious lines, he alleged.
Khan said if Congress returns to power, Hill Development Council for Pir-Panjal region shall be first gift for the public of this region. He also exhorted the party workers to accelerate the momentum of canvassing up to grass root level to bring Congress at the top.
Pointing to the highest number of new administrative units created in Rajouri, Khan said that it was due to pressure and persuasion of Congress party which made this possible. He appealed the public to strengthen Congress party in the best interest of the people of the State and area in particular. He urged the youth to come forward to participate for the cause of development.
The public meetings were also addressed by some local leaders, Panchs and Sarpanchs who assured full support to Mr Khan in the Assembly elections. They included Sain Abdul Rashid, Rashid Manhas, Haji Khadam Sarpanch Gurdan, Saleem Khan, Iftiqar Dar, Haji Farooq, Iftar Mughal and others.
