SRINAGAR: Jammu & Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) on Saturday described the decision to revoke three farming laws as outcome of sacrifices & struggle of farmers. The Party also hailed Rahul Gandhi’s incomparable strong opposition against unwanted three farming laws, describing the decision of the Centre as historic victory for famers and Congress, who both remained committed to fight against these laws. JKPCC President Ghulam Ahmad Mir made these comments while addressing a largely attended party workers convention in Verinag area of Anantnag District. The Congress workers’ convention, organised as a part of party’s Jan Jagran Abhiyan, was also observed as Kissan Vijay Diwas after Centre decided to repeal farming laws.
JKPCC Vice President and Former Minister Raman Bhalla, Vice President Haji Abdul Rashid Dar, Gulzar Ahmad Wani (Former Legislators), General Secretary Surinder Singh Channi and others also addressed the convention.
Mir further said that Jan Jagran Abhiyan launched by party is aiming to highlight and lodge protest against policies of Centre towards people. Referring to current situation in J&K, Mir said that situation has turned from bad to worse on security, economic, employment and on various other fronts, as a result, people have lost faith in policies of Centre Govt, especially after August 5, 2019.
Speaking on the occasion JKPCC Vice President and Former Minister Raman Bhalla said that Jan Jagran programme is one of the party’s great endeavours to reach out to people to highlight their problems, which they have been facing since Modi Govt assumed power at Centre. What kind of Governance BJP is talking about, in which common people have no right to say anything or protest against unwanted decisions and policies of the Govt, he questioned?
Bhalla expressed serious concern over the highest rate of unemployment, inflation and economic crisis in J&K and said that every sector in J&K is worst hit due to the policies adopted by the Govt. Bhalla termed Congress as the only unifying force in the country, committed to empower and serve people.
Addressing gathering Haji Abdul Rashid Dar, Gulzar Ahmad Wani and Surinder Singh Channi urged the party workers to remain connected with people on ground and do their utmost to resolve their problems.
