Cong pays tribute to JL Nehru
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Nov 14: The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) chief Tariq Hamid Karra today condemned the recent terror attack involving Kashmiri doctors and cautioned against linking the incident to any particular community.
Karra said the attack must be denounced “in the strongest words,” but warned that generalising it would be a grave mistake.
“We condemn it in the strongest words. Do not generalise it. There are good and bad people in every community,” Karra told media-persons on the sidelines of a function here.
Holding the BJP-led Central Government accountable for security lapses, Karra questioned its claims on eliminating terrorism post the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A.
“You (BJP) claimed terrorism was wiped out after scrapping Articles 370 and 35A. Yet you could not control terrorism. This incident happened right under your nose in Delhi. Who is responsible?” he asked.
Karra demanded answers from the Centre, saying the attack had exposed the government’s failure to ensure safety even in the National capital.
JKPCC chief’s reaction comes in the wake of a high-intensity explosion in a slow-moving car at a traffic signal near the Red Fort Metro Station in Delhi on Monday evening, killing 13 people and injuring several others. A DNA test has confirmed that Umar Nabi, a Kashmiri doctor, was driving the car when it exploded.
Additionally, 2,900 kg of explosives and inflammable material were recovered from two rented rooms of a doctor, also from Kashmir, in Faridabad, before the car blast in Delhi.
Earlier, Congress leaders and workers paid rich tributes to the first Prime Minister Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru on his 136th birth anniversary in an impressive function held here.
JKPCC chief was the chief guest while AICC general secretary and CLP Leader GA Mir was the guest of honour in the function which was attended by large number of senior leaders, former Ministers and Legisalators, District presidents and leaders of frontal wings from all over Jammu Province.
Addressing the gathering JKPCC President Tariq Hameed Karra described Pt Nehru as a great stalwart of freedom struggle and architect of modern India as the first Prime Minister of this country. He was the great visionary leader and statesman of his time and leader of the international stature, who played a great role in the world and enhanced the image of India as a messenger of peace and harmony in the community of nations.
On the occasion, the PCC leadership also launched the fourth phase of the struggle for the restoration of statehood “Hamari Riyasat Hamara Haq ” through the slogan “Ghar Ghar Dastak, Har Ghar Dastak” , by releasing a book-let containing the material to reach out and educate the masses to join the struggle for the restoration of the statehood, dignity, identity, honour, status and rights to land job and natural resources snatched by the BJP.
