Jammu, July 23 : President JKPCC Shri Vikar Raool Wani has said that Congress party shall come up with a people’s manifesto for the coming  assembly elections and give guarantees and commitments which shall be fulfilled within time manner.

Addressing a press conference at PCC HQ PCC President Vikar Rasool  Wani alongwith Working President Raman Bhalla, Former MP Ch. Lal Singh and JKPCC Sr. Vice President & Chief Spokesperson Ravinder Sharma and Dist President Jammu Urban Th. Manmohan Singh said that for ten years BJP has given lot hardships and pin pricks to each and every section of the society  and people have suffered a lot on various fronts.

Congress will reach out to the people to listen to their issues and incorporate their demands in the manifesto in order to give relief to each and every sections which have suffered during all these years.

He said that two committees for Jammu province have been constituted to reach out  to the people in different districts  and seek suggestions from all stakeholders for putting forth before the  manifesto committee of the PCC under the overall chairmanship of Prof. Saifuddin Soz.

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 grave 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 Lt. Governor is an other betrayal of BJP with the people of J&K.
