SRINAGAR, Apr 24: Stating that Congress will continue to fight against communal and fascist forces vitiating environment of peace and tranquility, Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president, GA Mir today said that the Congress alone has maintained secular fabric of the country and any change in this would create fear in the minds of people especially among the minorities, who are being targeted on religious lines.
Addressing a day long political convention of Congress workers in Uri today, Mir lashed at ruling dispensation for failing to address the concerns of the people in all the three regions. He said the ruling dispensation led by Mehbooba Mufti has brought miseries to the people, as the anti-people policies adopted by this Govt after taking reins of power is the cause behind deteriorating situation in the Valley.
Terming PDP as responsible for the mass discontent and deep hurt feeling among the people, Mir said despite the losses caused to both life and property, the ruling dispensation under Mehbooba Mufti has even failed to sojourn it’s minister from issuing annoying statement on Kashmir situation, resulting in more alienation in Kashmir valley.
” It is amazing to notice that inspite of doing or saying something positive which could cool down the tempers in Valley, the BJP Ministers and leaders are busy in fanning the fire to satisfy their masters at Nagpur indicating BJP’s Kashmir policy, which is being strengthened by PDP in the State,” he said.
He said the secular fabric of the country as well as state is in a great danger, as the BJP with the full support of PDP can go to an extent to polarize the situation for electoral gains. The previous elections conducted in the country and state have proved how BJP used religious card to secure votes. He described the PDP- BJP as a threat to integrity of the State and cautioned the people about the designs of these two parties responsible for the current disturbing situation prevailed in Kashmir valley
Addressing the convention former minister Taj Mohi- Ud- Din said Congress being a constructive opposition will continue to highlight the failures of the Govt and is committed to safeguard the interests of the people. It will not allow the Govt to play with emotions of the people on sensitive and developmental issues. He asked PDP how long it will mislead the people on AoA. “I suggest both PDP-BJP to open their eyes and observe what the people think about them, as they have lost trust and have no expectation from both PDP or BJP”, Taj said.
