New Delhi, May 30: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Working President Raman Bhalla on Tuesday called on AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge in New Delhi and apprised him about the political situation in J&K and the ongoing organizational activities of the party. He also discussed the feedback from the workers and people about the functioning of the present government and the role being played by Congress to represent and highlight the issues of the people of J&K.
According to a JKPCC statement issued here, Bhalla discussed various measures for further strengthening the party in Jammu and Kashmir. He held discussions over a wide range of issues concerning the people of J&K. “Bhalla had a detailed discussion on different issues confronting people especially, rising unemployment, economic losses, lack of development and other issues of public importance,” it said.
Bhalla briefed the leadership about the “fallout of disconnect” between the present dispensation and the people in the absence of the popular government, which he said was leading to restlessness among the people. He criticized the “misgovernance of the BJP government due to which the common masses are feeling cheated”.
AICC President asked Bhalla to effectively fight the “anti-people” and “anti-youth” policies of the ruling BJP and defeat their “divisive agenda” in Jammu and Kashmir, to strengthen the party and gear up their activities keeping an eye on the forthcoming assembly elections, the statement said.
Kharge asked him to concentrate on public issues and be among the people to highlight their problems. He appreciated JKPCC’s Working President and cadres for their struggle and commitment to fight against the communal and divisive forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
