Fight for Statehood will continue: PCC President

Srinagar ,Sept 29 (KNS) : The J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) 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.

Vote theft is posing a grave challenge to the Indian democratic setup, 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.

J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Tariq Hameed Karra said this while chairing a meeting of Coordinators and District Presidents of Kashmir province at Srinagar Party office today.

Speaking on the occasion, Tariq Hameed 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.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelKarra 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 it (ECI) is itself shielding and encouraging Vote theft to benefit ruling dispensation, which is fraught with serious consequences for the India democracy, he said.
