SRINAGAR, Sept 29: The J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president, Tariq Hameed Karra today said that the fight for the Statehood will be continued.
He said the party will be launching a mass signature campaign across J&K against the vote theft by ECI-BJP collusion in all the districts across J&K to awaken people about BJP’s undemocratic and immoral measures unleashed to manipulate elections for the sake of remaining in power and suppressing the opponents to hide its utter failure on all fronts.
While chairing a meeting of Coordinators and District presidents of Kashmir province at Srinagar party office today, Karra said the vote theft is posing a grave challenge to the Indian democratic set up, which will be defeated by the Congress to safeguard the democracy and democratic institution in the country. Democracy is under assault since the BJP assumed power at Centre. The systematic erosion of institutions by the ruling dispensation itself is fraught with serious consequences, which will neither be accepted nor tolerated.
Karra said ECI-BJP collusion stands exposed by LoP Rahul Gandhi, who produced facts about the vote manipulation, rather than taking corrective measures to check the vote theft ECI demanded an affidavit from LoP aiming to cover electoral fraud. Karra added and said ECI is an autonomous poll body responsible for ensuring free fair elections and maintaining transparency while conducting elections, but the irony is (ECI) is itself shielding and encouraging vote theft to benefit ruling dispensation, which is fraught with serious consequences for the India democracy, he said.
“The vigorous fight for Statehood shall continue,” Karra said and urged the Party leaders to gear up for more public outreach programmes in their respective districts.
Those who were present on the occasion included MLA Nizam Ud Din Bhat, MLA Irfan Hafeez Lone, Ex-MLA Bashir Ahmad Magray, Ex- MLA Abdul Rahim Rather, Abdul Gani Khan, Nissar Ahmad Mundo, Abid Ahmad Bhat, Adil Farooq Mir, Suhail Bukhari and others.
