Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Aug 2: Taking a dig at ‘deadwood’ and expelled, who play negative and divisive role by issuing unnecessary statements, creating fissures among the party ranks, the Congress leaders said the need of the hour is to play a responsible role to unite.
They said that the present generation of Jammu and Kashmir wants redressal of its basic issues of employment, development and opportunities
The leaders said this in a Joint Statement issued by Senior Congress leaders which included Vice president JKPCC and MLAs G M Saroori, Haji Abdul Rashid, Mohd Amin Bhat, Usman Majid, Gulzar Ahmed Wani; MLCs G N Monga, Naresh Gupta, Sham Lal Bhagat; general secretaries S S Channi, Hilal Shah and Shoaib Nabi Lone and organizing/media publicity secretary Salman Nizami, Sr Cong leader Sheikh Mujeeb and District president Jammu, today
The leaders said the trouble makers have been expelled and have no right to interfere in party related matters.
“The Congress party is working hard by raising the general demands of the people under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Ambika Soni and Ghulam Ahmed Mir. We can’t afford to let our people down at this crucial juncture,” they added.
Lashing out on the expelled leader Ab Gani Vakil, the leaders said that Vakil has become MLC and Cabinet Minister only because of the Congress, adding that personally nobody knows him on ground and he even cannot win a Sarpanch election. They said Vakil is a traitor and trying to be opportunist.
The leaders further said that as the BJP and PDP Govt has totally been exposed, it is now busy in spreading the news of groupism in the Congress Party, adding that both BJP and PDP leaders are aware of the fact that Congress has now got tremendous support from the people to expose the present Govt.
Congress leaders said that the BJP and PDP played the card of communal polarization by using religion to fight elections, adding if the elections would have been fought on developmental grounds, Congress would have never lost as it undertook huge development works in the State.
