Congress feels highly concerned about the absence of democratic setup in J&K and urges Centre Govt to stop creating more uncertainty in J&K and pave the way for holding elections in J&K to ensure that people live with honour and dignity.

 

Senior Congress Leader Tariq Hameed Karra on Wednesday made these comments while addressing a Party workers’ meeting at Gund Hassi Bhat area of Shalteng Srinagar.

 

Addressing the meeting Tariq Hameed Karra slammed the Centre for espousing negative and anti-people measures in J&K, deliberately demeaning and disempowering people on every count. The prolonged delay in holding elections is a deliberate move to keep people away from the democratic setup aiming to make them unpresented and rule J&K directly from the Centre. J&K is the victim of BJP’s vindictive policies leading to disappointment among the people. BJP is shying away from elections as they are set to face a humiliating defeat given its anti-people measures and vindictive policies towards J&K.

 

J&K is a breeding ground for uncertainty, deprivation and hopelessness all thanks to BJP and its arbitrarily imposed agents over the people. The local aspirations have been killed as the State which now operates as a UT is without an elected Government for the past five years, Karra said.

 

Commenting on the BJP’s new UCC (Uniform Civil Code) drama being thrust into the country Karra said the desperation and haphazard behaviour of BJP indicates the frustration that this party collectively carries with itself. In a blatant attempt to polarise the electorate, UCC type tantrums are being pulled to divert the attention of people from real issues which are of significance to the common man of India. 

 

The rising fuel prices, unemployment, the distressed situation of farmers, inflation and the burden of infinite taxes is breaking the backbone of every Indian across the classes, BJP failed in controlling these matters is now trying hard to polarise the voters and win another term in office so that it may destroy whatever is left in this Republic, Karra added.

 

Senior Congress Leader appealed to people to remain vigilant and defeat the divisive designs of BJP, as that, it (BJP) after having miserably failed to deliver have started generating UCC debate in the country inorder to polarise the  situation and divide the communities on religious lines, which should not be allowed to happen. Karra further elaborated that CAA, UCC and other similarly situated measures are aimed to divide people on religious lines and  gain electoral mileage on the part of BJP. Congress Leader Nissar Ahmad Mundoo and others also addressed the meeting.(KNS).
