Anantnag, Dec 26: Former Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President GA Mir on Monday asked the union government to come clean on restoration of people rights by holding assembly elections as promised on the floor of the house.
While addressing Party workers at Nowgam area of Shangus in Anantnag District, Mir said mere statements and tall claims have not changed anything in J&K, with the result, people were feeling discriminated against and betrayed under BJP Rule.
He urged the gathering to support Congress Party in its fight against divisive politics of BJP RSS and its associates who have been put on the job to divide people to benefit it (BJP) and divert attention of the people from the real issues.
Mir termed the Bharat Jodo Yatra a great initiative taken by the Congress party under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. “Yatra is for the unity, amity and against the hate politics of BJP RSS, who were playing emotional and religious cards, from time to time to create wedge between the communities aiming to seek votes to remain in power. The Yatra is bound to secure and strengthen the idea of India,” Mir added.
Referring to the current situation in J&K, Mir said people were feeling cheated and want change, but the BJP which has failed on all counts and are now busy in building a fake narrative to overcome the reality in order to hide behind its failures, but the people will no longer tolerate such dirty and misleading people, which the BJP thinks it will help, the time has changed, these eight years of misrule and mismanagement of things have exposed BJP’s falsehood and deceitful politics.
Former JKPCC President reiterated that restoration of democratic process was critical to the overall development and prosperity in J&K, besides infusing confidence amongst the people, who were feeling isolated and cheated by the BJP Govt.
Mir appealed people of all shades, political and social organizations to join Rahul Gandhi’s upcoming Bharat Jodo Yatra with thumping participation as the Yatra was for the unity, stability against the divisive and hate politics of BJP.
