JAMMU, Jan 5: Congress Seva Dal led by its J&K president Vijay Sharma organized a large rally as Congress Seva Dal entered 100th year of its formation.

The rally started from Gandhi Nagar Gole Market and passed through Nanak Nagar, Shiva Ji Chowk, Bahu Plaza, Bagh-e-Bahu, Gujjar Nagar Tawi Bridge and culminated at party headquarters Saheedi Chowk, Jammu.
Speaking on the occasion, JKPCC chief said that welfare of the common people is at the heart of the Congress ideology. With our unwavering commitment to serve; we will strive to ensure the welfare and happiness of every Indian. He said that the role of Seva Dal is to ensure that information about government initiated development programmes reaches the public in every nook and corner. .He said the Seva Dal is known for its military discipline and passion, which is reflected in its organisational fabric and method of operation. There was a time when Seva Dal training was mandatory to get Congress membership. Indira Gandhi made Rajiv Gandhi join the Congress via Seva Dal too. From Nehru to Rahul, all Congress leaders referred to the Seva Dal members as the ‘true soldiers of Congress’.
Wani charged the present government with creating division, hatred, and continued unemployment in the nation. The concept of India, he claimed, was constantly under attack. Hatred is deepening every day across the country. People are burdened due to inflation and unemployment, but the government is unconcerned,” he said.
PCC chief said ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra, Congress’s biggest public outreach exercise in decades, was the beginning of steps to unite people. “The yatra has given a new lease of life to tens of millions of Congress workers across the country.”
Working president Bhalla said Congress has always worked for the well-being and progress of the people. “We firmly believe in equality of opportunity guaranteed in political, economic & social rights, enshrined in the Constitution of India,” Bhalla said.
He attacked the government, saying the fundamentals of India are being constantly attacked and the society is being “divided by hate”. He said that India progressed due to Congress’ approach of inclusion and taking everyone along. India not only emerged as a successful and strong democracy but within a few decades it became a super power in economic, nuclear and strategic areas, Bhalla said.
Senior leaders Ravinder Sharma, Manmohan Singh, Rajinder Rasrania, J&K Seva Dal chief Vijay Sharma and others also spoke on the occasion.
