Srinagar, Aug 10: The Srinagar District Congress Committee on Thursday staged a protest against the BJP government’s “failure” on all fronts and “punishing” the people under the garb of unprecedented price hikes, joblessness, smart meters and other “anti-people” measures.
Congress workers and leaders of Srinagar District assembled at the party office to join the protest against the price hike and started marching towards Maulana Azad Road, but the heavy contingent of police foiled the march and closed the main gate of the party office, the party said in a statement, adding that Congress leaders and workers were pushed back and were not allowed to protest on the road to register their protest.
The party workers raised slogans against unprecedented price hikes on essentials, especially vegetable, LPG, petrol and diesel products, and smart meters. They also raised slogans against joblessness and economic backwardness due to the failures of the BJP government at the Centre.
Congress Leaders Mohd Anwar Bhat, Abdul Gani Khan, Shameem Iqbal, Irfan Naqib, Mir Ruvais, Imtiyaz Khan, Shameema Iqbal, Waseem Ahmad Shalla, Asif Beigh, Shameem Khan, Firdous Wani, Zulfkar Qureshi, Javed Ahmad, Saira, Rahila, Mahila and youth Congress activists and prominent party workers participated in the protest and hit out at the BJP government for making “false claims” on every count. They also blamed the BJP for “betraying” the people after coming into power while terming the unprecedented price hike a punishment to people.
They said Congress shall continue to hold protest demonstrations against the “failures and wrong policies” of the BJP to make them accountable and answerable to the people.
