He said that Congress would not allow the present anti farmers legislation to be passed in the parliament.
He expressed concern over the use of religion for politics and that religious exploitation has polarized the polity of the country. He accused the BJP for spreading falsehood and exploiting people during Lok Sabha elections, but said that the graph of the Modi led government has fallen so rapidly which no government in the past witnessed such type of situation in a short spell of time.
JKPCC president, G. A. Mir in his address said that Congress cadre was committed to the party and its ideology and would play a role of responsible opposition to expose an unholy alliance of two parties.
