SRINAGAR, July 17: The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president G A Mir has said that the time is right for holding assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
Mir also questioned the unnecessary delay over holding of poll process in the state.
JKPCC president was addressing a day long political convention of block Congress committee Shahabad Veerinag in south Kashmir today.
"People of Jammu and Kashmir are the worst hit in absence of an elected government. Unnecessary delay over holding of poll process is questionable and demanded holding of assembly elections, at the earliest," he said.
Mir cautioned the party workers against the forces, which are hell bent upon to create further chaos among the people in all the three regions, asking them to remain vigilant and expose their nefarious designs before the people.
He said that the Congress party is the only unifying force in the country and state and it will do its utmost to safeguard the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Referring to the recently concluded parliamentary elections in the country, Mir said BJP and RSS were scared of Congress party’s secular and pro people policies. "As a result, they started a malicious campaign against the party before the elections, dividing people on religious and caste basis for the sake of electoral gains," he said.
Mir stated that at the same time, he felt confident that saffron party can no longer mislead the people on sensitive and emotional issues.
