Some people in conspiracy to weaken congress in J&K:Vakil


GNS Jammu 20 Feb 2012: Former Minister and Member AICC Abdul Gani Vakil today said that Congress has always stood for the high principals of secularism, amity and brotherhood in the country and same trait is being nurtured and propagated in the State. Vakil said that welfare of people of Jammu and Kashmir and solidarity between various regions is the benchmark of Indian National Congress’s politico-development policy and the party is working in the direction of restoring permanent peace in the State besides ensuring equitable development of all regions and all sections of the society. Congress’s main focus is to develop Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh equitably. He said Congress will ensure that there was no discrimination against any region. Cautioning the people about the communal and divisive forces in the state, Vakil said that Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh have to stay together and people should understand the designs of such forces and strengthen secularism, unity and integrity of the state. Vakil was addressing a party workers convention at Gandhi Nagar Jammu today which was
presided over by Sr. Congress leader and Ex. MP Shri Janak Raj Gupta.
While addressing the gathering Vakil cautioned workers of those elements who are      in a conspiracy to weaken the Congress for their vested interests and said every effort would be made to foil their evil designs because J&K State cannot afford to weaken nationalist forces as it will be dangerous to the political and national interest. He stressed that strong Congress is needed in Jammu & Kashmir because it is the only party which does not believe in double standards and in exploiting the sentiments of the people simply for voting consideration. It is unfortunate that those whose duty was to work for restoration of peace and to address grievances of the people genuinely are bent upon more in exploiting sentimental issues rather to work for development and prosperity of the state added Vakil. Congress has to play equal role in the development process as coalition partner and a role of team B is never acceptable to the rank and file of the pa
Mr. Vakil stressed upon Chief Minister to focus more on development rather than   political issues. It seems the government is busy with politics rather than development works which is moving at a slow pace. He urged the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah that economic issues should not be overshadowed by political issues.
Vakil asked the government to immediately hold the elections to local bodies and municipal committees so that people at grass root level are empowered. The unprecedented delay, he said, was causing great unrest amongst people and it is also against the very policies of Congress.
Besides others who addressed the gathering include Chief J&K Sevadal Balwinder Singh Sambyal, Jugal Kishore Sr. Vice President INTUC, Sr. Congress Leaders, Teerath Singh, Ghulam Nabi Patel, Haji Abdullah Dar and Ghulam Ahmad Lone

GNS RAJOURI : The way opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) led by former JK Chief Minister and erstwhile union home minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayed has been emerging as a force in the border region of Poonch , Rajouri, is really a worrying situation for Congress and National Conference . It would be much better to say that the situation if more threatening for NC as compared to Congress as the region has always been strong belt of the former for decades . The latest example is the entry of Chowdhary Qamer Hussain of Rajouri in the party fold who was earlier associated with Congress and had contested on Congress ticket from Rajouri in 2002 assembly elections , but had finished second at  that time . Qamar is not alone in the region who joined PDP in the past some months, National Conference has already received a big loss by loosing its influential cadres in Poonch district . The example is the entry of Shah Mohammad Tantray and Shehzaad Ahmed Khan of Poonch in to PDP  No...

GNS Srinagar, Nov 30: Terming Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s latest move of courting BJP as his new allies a brazen show of opportunism, opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today said the National Conference has taken the political immorality to a new low by simultaneously entering into coalition of expedience with Congress and BJP. “As NC has always survived on trickery, its latest move to woo back its old allies (BJP) is in tune with the party’s philosophy of political opportunism and deceit,” PDP chief spokesman Naeem Akhtar said in a statement issued here today. He said, curiously, developing NC-BJP bonhomie coincides with the recent visit of senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member Arun Jaitley in Jammu. Terming Omar Abdullah’s ‘ministerial berth’ bait a desperate attempt to keep the dissipating NC flock together and fully exploit disgruntled party legislators for upcoming Legislative Council polls,  Akhtar said Abdullahs have a history of adopting ‘use-a...
