Addressing a large gathering of leaders and party workers at Shakti Nagar, Jammu today after a warm welcome at airport and enroute despite his delayed arrival for around three hours on his maiden visit here, the newly appointed AICC general secretary sounded a strong message to fight back the communal, divisive especially vendetta politics of the Modi Government in the country.
He alleged that BJP has stooped low in its renewed politics of vendetta. He specially mentioned about their (BJP’s) cheap tactics in Gujarat and Bihar.
Dr Hussain told the senior leaders and workers that it is time to fight back attempts of BJP- RSS to weaken the democracy and constitution by all out efforts to threaten the opposition and it’s leadership.
“Congress fought against Britishers, it will not be cowed down by the vindictive actions of BJP and it is duty bound to safeguard the democracy, democratic institutions and democratic values in country, which are under threat under BJP regime,” Dr Naseer said.
He elaborated that the Congress stand on democracy, secularism and all issues of unity in diversity is clear. Any assault on Constitution would be opposed along with all like minded secular forces at every step like recent amendment on Waqf Act.
He said Rahul Gandhi has started giving challenge in Gujarat by holding AICC session at Ahmedabad on every front. The BJP wants to divert attention of the country from various failures.
He asked cadres to be strong and united to fight back at every step to safeguard democracy and democratic culture and values.
AICC leader told them in the senior leaders meet in the evening at Asia Hotel that he is always available to listen to the leadership of all class and Congress is democratic party and difference of opinion can be there on issues but indiscipline shall not be allowed. He said there is no place for the groupism in the party and any such attempt will not be tolerated. He claimed that party stand was clear on Waqf Bill and party leaders have mentioned the same in the House and outside as well.
Congress has to emerge a strong secular voice of people of all sections as Centre is ignoring the promised Statehood to J&K. He said the party will continue to fight for the restoration of Statehood to the Jammu and Kashmir.
He asked the party cadre to strengthen the party at district and block levels and maintained that for the sake of making the party more stronger some people should not hesitate to sacrifice. He dropped the apparent hint to drop some ineffective people while constituting new Provincial district and block units as with the appointment of new PCC president, the Congress units stand dissolved.
JKPCC president Tariq Hameed Karra, AICC general secretary CLP Leader G A Mir, Working presidents Tara Chand, Raman Bhalla, Ch Lal Singh, AICC Secretaries Manoj Yadav, Shah Nawaz, Neeraj Kundan, all MLAs, former Ministers and legislators besides other senior leaders, frontal organizations heads and DCC presidents attended meetings.
JKPCC president, hoped that with the appointment of Dr Naseer Hussain as new Incharge of the Jammu and Kashmir, under his guidance the Congress will get stronger in the Jammu and Kashmir.
