RAMBAN, May 15: Congress membership drive was launched here today.
The drive was launched by Vice President JKPCC, GM Saroori in presence of General Secretary JKPCC Yogesh Sawhney, MLA Banihal Vikar Rasool Wani, Secretary PCC Ashok Kumar (Ex MLA), Secretary PCC Imtiyaz Ahmed Khanday, President DCC Ramban Arun Singh Raju, Working DCC President Farooq Ahmed Katoch, other senior leaders of the party, office bearers, Youth Congress, NSUI and large number of Congressmen.
While speaking, Saroori asked State Government not to shift the proposed National Institute of Medicinal Plants (NIMP) from Bhaderwah in district Doda. He said that GN Azad had sanctioned NIMP for Chenab Valley and it should be set up in Bhaderwah as the area is rich in herbal wealth and more than 40 per cent of forest wealth of J&K is found in the Chenab valley. In view of its close proximity to rich wealth of medicinal and herbal plants and pristine scenic beauty, Bhaderwah remains an ideal place for the setting up of NIMP, he added.
He warned the PDP-BJP combine that if the 100-crore dream project of Ghulam Nabi Azad will be shifted, all the Congress leaders along with lakhs of people will come on street and start agitate.
While addressing Yogesh Sawhney, Vikar Rasool and Ashok Kumar lambasted coalition Government for failing on every front in the State.
Among others who spoke were Imtiyaz Ahmed Khandey, Ilyaz Amed, Budhi Singh, Bushan Pandit, Jamash Singh, Farooq Katoch, Arun Singh Raju, Tariq Saleem, Haji Mohammad Yusuf, Issaq Khandey, etc.
