Jammu/Bhaderwah, June 19: Continuing with his tour of erstwhile district Doda a part of Udhampur-Doda-Kathua Lok Sabha constituency, Ghulam Nabi Azad today while expressing gratitude to the people for voting in his favour in a big way in the recently held Parliamentary election urged the people to strengthen the vote base of Congress by ensuring the victory of Congress MLA's to take the State on the path of progress, prosperity and harmony.
Addressing a series of public meetings at Thathri, Kahara, Bhatyas and Gundoh area of District Doda, former union health minister Azad said that in the recent elections divisive political forces have succeeded in swaying the minds of people, particularly youngsters, by polarizing the society on religious lines and that these experiments may help one to earn a few electoral victories but the damage to the social harmony can be too deep and lasting.
Maintaining that J&K is known for its composite cultural heritage and exemplary religious harmony, Azad said that due to its inner resilience, our society has never yielded to the extremist ideology and that it has always bounced back after every aberration.
He said that Congress has always stood for the promotion of the cherished values of peace, harmony and mutual brotherhood in the society and this agenda of integrating and harmonizing the society will be pursued consistently.
Criticizing the recent statements of NDA Government at the Centre asking the people to be ready for hard economic decisions, Azad said that the same BJP, prior to elections used to allure people by its tall claims of bringing down inflation overnight. Azad said that we want to know about the "magical policies" and dreams which BJP and its leadership was busy selling to the people before the elections. He assured the people that as Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, issues concerning common man will be raised vociferously on the floor of the House to hold the Government accountable for its misdoings.
Highlighting achievements of Congress led UPA, Azad said United Progressive Alliance (UPA) during its ten years rule, strictly focused to build infrastructure in every nook and corner of the country. Describing Chenab basin as treasure trove of natural resources and quality human resource, Azad recalled the he endeavoured in his very brief spell of two and a half years as Chief Minister put this region on the track of development and progress.
Urging people to strengthen the vote base of Congress by ensuring the victory of Congress MLA's to take the State on the path of progress, prosperity and harmony, he said, "I need all 8 seats from erstwhile Doda and I am sure we will form the government in state." "If we come to power I promise you all, we will serve the people in the best possible manner and unfold a structure of governance, based on efficiency, transparency and equity" he said.Earlier Azad was given rousing welcome by the people at all the places and an unexpected wave of enthusiasm in the people was seen to greet and meet the popular leader. |
