He said congress is committee to corruption free system and cannot be silent on corruption as Prime Minister of India did not spare his own party men who were find involved in corruption they are either in the jail or had to leave Chief Ministership.

Vakil said that issuing of statements by the leaders of these parties to score points is an unhealthy sign and the top brass leadership of both the parties should give their mind to the rank and file of the parties making them to abide by the principals of coalition. Vakil asked the party leaders of both Congress and National Conference to work in tandem, strengthen the bonds of coalition and help the government fulfill its commitments made to people.Besides others who addressed the gatherings include General Secretary J&K PCC Dr. Abdul Ahad Yatoo, Sr. Vice President District Baramulla Haji Mohammad Afzal Khan, J&K Youth Congress General Secretary Altaf Ahmad Malik, and Block President Dangiwacha Rafiabad Ghulam Nabi Shah.
