JAMMU, Apr 15: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla today visited the Nai Basti area, where he listened to the public grievances and slammed the BJP Government for its alleged misrule in Jammu and Kashmir.
Bhalla criticized the BJP for pushing Jammu and Kashmir to the wall by delaying the restoration of Statehood and failing to address the law and order situation in the Jammu region. He also interacted with locals, understanding their issues and assuring them of the Congress Party’s support in addressing their problems.
Congress leader also discussed the arrangements for the three-day Jammu visit of Dr Syed Naseer Hussain – the newly appointed AICC general secretary in-charge Jammu and Kashmir – from April 17. He said Hussain would reach Jammu on April 17 for his three-day tour. He will address a workers’ convention at Shakti Nagar, Jammu, and also chair a meeting of prominent Pradesh Congress Committee leaders, district presidents, former legislators and frontal organisation chiefs. Hussain will meet different delegations from all districts of Jammu and take stock of organisational activities at a meeting with block presidents.
Bhalla said the Congress would further gear up its activities in all parts of Jammu and Kashmir to intensify the struggle in support of the demand for restoration of Statehood, besides highlighting the issues being faced by the people due to non-fulfillment of various promises by the BJP during the past 10 years that had led to compounding the problems of unemployment, price rise, high taxation and exploitation of natural resources. He stated that the Congress is committed to the welfare and protection of the rights of the people, particularly the labour class, who are the backbone of the country’s economic progress and development. He emphasized that the party has a robust grievance redressal mechanism in place to address the issues of the people.
JKPCC working president urged the people of Jammu and Kashmir to lend unwavering support to the Congress party, emphasizing that the nation’s stability and peace depend on the party taking the reins of power. He cautioned against neglecting wrongdoings of BJP, pointing out that ignoring their mistakes is an indirect gain for the BJP. He demanded that the Government provide relief to those suffering and ensure the basic necessities of life are met.
