JAMMU, Feb 16: Senior JKPCC leader and former minister Raman Bhalla today said that Congress has always taken a leading role in tackling the challenges posed before the country and the party has resolved to protect the interests of J&K people.
While interacting with people of Bahu constituency here Bhalla said, today, the situation of J&K has become adverse owing to the anti-people policies of the government. Spiralling inflation, poverty, crime and challenges before the democratic values and Constitutional institutions, can only be tackled by the Congress.
Urging the Congress workers to understand the pain faced by the people, Bhalla said, the history of the Congress has been to reduce the pain of every section of the country. He said Congress continuously questioning the BJP government on inflation, unemployment, increasing prices of petrol, diesel and cooking gas and also stage protests on these issues. The government jobs are falling prey to nepotism and favoritism and the candidates selected for jobs are moving from pillar to post to get their appointment, he said.
Bhalla said that Congress always implemented the pro- poor and pro- oppressed policies to ensure their upliftment since independence and referred to the protection of their rights to jobs in district cadre posts all over state in the last govt. He also referred to the plight of refugees and the poor farmers who were being uprooted by present dispensation and assured that Congress will fight for the poor & downtrodden.
Taking a dig at the BJP, he blamed the ruling party in Delhi is trying to undermine the Constitutional and political rights of the J&K people. “It is disturbing to see that new aggressive laws undermining the rights and interests of J&K are being brought into the effect here with each passing day,” he said.
