Jammu, Aug 14: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Working President Raman Bhalla on Wednesday reiterated his party’s commitment to safeguard the interests of all sections of society.
Addressing the block-level meetings here, he asked the party leaders and office bearers to continue with their awareness campaign against BJP’s “wrong policies and programmes”. He said the party would not allow anyone to barter the interests of J&K people for their own nefarious interests.
Bhalla reviewed the ground activities of the party in Jammu district and took stock of various organizational initiatives and matters, the JKPCC said in a statement. He asked the party leaders to work closely with the grassroots workers in addressing pressing public issues and concerns in their respective areas.
“Our workers are the backbone of the party and all efforts should be made to involve the youth in evolving ways to strengthen the party and also reach out to the people who are facing the worst possible era of misgovernance and political instability due to the opportunistic government at the helm in J&K,” he said.
He asserted that Congress under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi is “relentlessly fighting” for the “restoration of the fundamental rights” of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The party firmly believes in upholding the principles of democracy and ensuring that every citizen enjoys the freedoms and liberties enshrined in the Constitution, he said.
The Congress leader said, “The struggle for the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir is not a short-term battle; it is a long-term commitment. The party will continue to work tirelessly to bring an end to the prevailing situation and ensure that the voices of the people are heard and respected. The party stands united in its advocacy for reinstatement of the rights that were unjustly taken away.”
Bhalla urged the people of Jammu and Kashmir to stand strong and united, joining hands with the party in its mission. “Together, we can pave the way for a brighter future, where democracy prevails and fundamental rights are upheld,” he added.
He accused the double-engine government led by the BJP at the Centre of betraying the people of J&K. He called on the party’s workers to actively counter the “misleading campaigns” propagated by BJP leaders.
The JKPCC leader said Congress has always stood for the aspirations of the people. “Our role is not just to contest elections but to be the voice of the people,” he said.
