Similarly for Kashmir Province also a sub – committee shall be constituted for doing the similar exercise within next 15 days for final discussion on the issues of people of cross sections of the society. Vikar Rasool said that Congress party is fully prepared for the assembly elections as per Supreme Court dead line of September 30 and asked the cadres to be fully prepared.
Expressing concern over the increased terror activities in the region, JKPCC Chief said that it is the failure of the government to take timely steps and strengthen the security network before the spread of terror activities, and the government must take all necessary steps to control the situation and hold the assembly elections in time. The assembly elections in the past were held in more difficult situations and restoration of democracy is itself a message to terrorism.
Vikar said that Congress forcefully demands restoration of statehood before elections to restore full powers to the people. Criticizing the recent order snatching all powers from elected government and vesting the same in the LG is an other betrayal of BJP with the people of J&K. He said BJP has done this after realizing that non-BJP Government of Congress and other likeminded parties shall come to power after the assembly elections in J&K.
JKPCC announced two sub-committees for Jammu province, one headed by Ravinder Sharma, senior vice president and chief spokesperson of the party while another headed by Naresh Gupta, vice president of the PCC. The Committee members with Ravinder Sharma include T S Bajwa , Indu Pawar, Shashi Sharma, Mohib Khan, Uday Bhanu Chib, Suresh Dogra while the committee members with Naresh Gupta include Dr Pradeep Bhagat, Dr Mulak Raj Bhamagi, Feroz Ahmed Khan, Rakesh Wazir, Narinder Khajuria and Kajal Rajput.
