Wani was addressing workers’ convention in Dak Bunglow Baramulla in which senior Party leaders of JKPCC and DCC Baramulla were present.
Addressing the convention, JKPCC President Vikar Rasool Wani described Congress as an instrument of service to the people, which has represented their urges and aspirations,in true sense, it will continue to work for their wellbeing and inclusive development of Jammu and Kashmir.
Wani said J&K has witnessed ugliest situation due to wrong policies adopted by the Modi Govt and expressed serious concern over the rising unemployment, lack of development and depressed economy confronting people of J&K while lashing out at the unprecedented price hike and other failures of Govt which is responsible for making living condition of people difficult, he said.
JKPCC President slammed the Centre & State Govts for failing to mitigate the sufferings of the people with regard to their development, employment generation and many other issues, though tall claims are being made on daily basis for local consumption, but the reality is BJP has failed to restore the confidence amongst the people given its false promises and failures on all fronts.
JKPCC President also blamed BJP Govt and its offshoots for doing misleading politics inorder to hide their failures on all fronts. Wani also asked BJP to stop targeting Congress Party aiming to hide its failures on all fronts while advising both Centre & State Govt to take effective measures to address the concerns of people, who are suffering badly in absence of the popular Govt, he added and demanded restoration of full Statehood and holding of assembly elections to ensure that people’s voices are heard and their grievances addressed, he said. People are feeling disheartened and dismayed over the BJP Govt’ indifferent attitude and false promises, JKPCC President rued.
Wani who was addressing his first ever workers convention in Baramulla after taking over as President of JKPCC asserted that Congress will emerge stronger, it will be his endeavor to reach nook and corner in both the provinces to boost the morale of the party cadres.
Addressing the convention Senior Party Leaders Ghulam Nabi Monga (Ex.MLC) and Mohd Anwar Bhat told the party workers that there is a need to strengthen booth and block committee in the districts ensuring that Party is in a position to overcome the challenges. They also urged the workers to interact with the people and seek their cooperation in strengthening the Party at grass roots.
Monga also hit at Centre Govt for adopting dilly dallying tactics over holding elections in J&K reiterating that Centre should pave way for the democratic process in J&K, at the earliest, as that will only ensure representation of common people at every appropriate forum.
Adv.Sheikh Amir urged the workers to get united to fight against the divisive and wrong policies of BJP Govt, which is responsible for the J&K situation. It is ironical that BJP inorder to hide its failure on governance and other fronts doesn’t allow elections to happen aiming to hide its real face and failures.
