Baramulla, Nov 02: “Congress played a significant role in the inclusive development of the country while rendering its best services to every section of the people living in the country, besides ensuring that their democratic and constitutional rights were safeguarded. The party shall continue to work for the wellbeing of people and inclusive development of J&K,” said J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Vikar Rasool Wani on Thursday.
According to a party statement issued here, Wani made these comments while addressing a district-level review meeting at Dak-Bunglow Baramulla in North Kashmir. AICC Joint Secretary & Co-Incharge J&K Manoj Yadav, JKPCC Senior Vice President G N Monga and various other leaders also addressed the meeting.
The JKPCC President reviewed the organizational affairs and activities in Baramulla and also reviewed the preparations for the upcoming challenges particularly the assembly and other elections which are due. He urged the party workers and leaders to reach out to the public with the Congress Party’s programme and policies and also highlight their problems for resolution.
On the occasion, Vikar hit out at the BJP government for “failing” people on all fronts, especially on economic, employment and developmental fronts. He said all the promises made by the BJP have fallen flat leading to disappointment among the people.
He also blamed the government for the deteriorating security situation in J&K, saying, “Instead of beating the drums of development and peace, the government should concentrate on rising incidents of targeted killings and attack on police and security forces personnel including non-locals, which is a matter of grave concern and needs to be tackled.”
Wani termed the “so-called” UT Divas celebrations by the BJP as “meaningless”, saying it amounts to adding insult to the injuries of people who are “aware as to what they have lost after downgrading of full-fledged State in an undemocratic manner”.
AICC Joint Secretary and Co Incharge Manoj Yadav expressed satisfaction over the overwhelming participation of party workers in the review meeting and urged them to gear up for the elections and other challenges to the Congress Party.
Addressing the meeting, JKPCC Senior Vice President Ghulam Nabi Monga said that the “propaganda machinery” of the BJP won’t succeed in “misleading” people in Jammu as well as in Kashmir.
“They (people) have realized that BJP has humiliated them by dividing J&K into two UTs and doing away with other constitutional rights,” he said, adding, “Congress will emerge stronger in the elections as and when held given the party pro-people policies and programmes.”
