Party high command Decision will be acceptable to the party leaders and workers of Jammu and Kashmir state.


                                                  
townhall.jpgGNS SRINAGAR MAY 21: Former minister and AICC member Abdul Gani Vakil  said that the resolution passed in the one day party convention at SKICC in Srinagar was aimed at strengthening Congress party in Jammu and Kashmir State at all levels. Endorsing the resolution empowering AICC Chief Sonia Gandhi to nominate party president for J&K State and constitute rest for the organizational structure, Vakil said that this would go a long way in strengthening the party’s structure.
He said that whatever will be the decision of the party high command it will be acceptable to the party leaders and workers here in Jammu and Kashmir state.
Vakil was addressing a workers meeting of Congress Seva Dal at town hall Anantnag today. Speaking on the occasion he said that elected Panchayats in the entire state were loosing their relevance in absence of substantial powers granted to the sarpanches and panches. These elected sarpanches and panches, he said must be empowered henceforth for which the Congress in its one day convention has also passed a resolution.
He said that these elected bodies were meaningless unless empowered and involved in the development works. The government, he said must extend 73rd amendment to the state Panchayati Raj Act so that elected sarpanches and panches function like the true representatives of people and contribute in the development schemes.
Coming down heavily on the opposition,Vakil said that those out of power were speaking out of frustration. He said that opposition leaders after having withdrawn the support to the then Ghulam Nabi Azad government had committed a blunder and now were repenting over their action. The role being played by the opposition in the present contest too was not appreciable.
Vakil said issues raised by the opposition were more aimed at snatching power than that of public importance. He said opposition must play constructive role in the given scenario so that a check is laid on the government. He said the development works started by the former chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad were lying abandoned and work on the same must also be started at the earliest.
He also asked the government to look into the details of deaths of hundreds of infants in G B Pant hospital and take remedial measures. There was a need of investigating the cause of death than hiring and firing the employees. He said that augmentation of hospital staff was one thing which was needed but the government must investigate the exact cause of deaths so that that particular grey area could be removed for the survival of children. He demanded the judicial probe in to the deaths of infants by a sitting judge of the high court
Besides others who addressed the gathering include Sr. Congress leader and Former MP Janak Raj Gupta, MLC Haji Ali Mohammad Bhat, General Secretary J&K PCC Dr. Abdul Ahad Yatoo, District Chief Sevadal Gul Mohammad, Sr. Congress Leaders Advocate Wajahat Hussain, Nissar Ahmad Khan, Khaja Mohammad Sultan and Ghulam Ahmad Lone
