In its manifesto released this morning by senior leaders Congress ignored issues pertaining to Jammu and Ladakh regions. Congress's manifesto is confined only to appease anti-national elements. Instead of promising to take effective steps to curb terrorism in J&K, Congress, in its manifesto has rather pledged to review the Armed Forces Special Powers (AFSPA) and rework troop deployment in Jammu and Kashmir, besides abolishing the provision of sedition in the IPC, easing rules for bail, and limit the powers of the probe agencies to search, seize and arrest. The Congress also promised to enact an anti-hate crime law to address lynchings and non-engineered violence in the first session of the 17th Lok Sabha. Congress promised to resume unconditional dialogue with the people of the state, besides amending the AFSPA to strike a balance between the powers of armed forces and the human rights of people. "The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act and the Disturbed Areas Act in J&K will be reviewed. Suitable changes will be made in the text of the laws to balance the requirements of security and the protection of human rights", party mentioned in its manifesto, adding, "Building a Union of States that is India is a project of inclusiveness. Jammu & Kashmir and its problems deserve a large-hearted approach that will eschew muscular militarism and legalistic formulations and look for an innovative federal solution. Congress promises to find such a solution through patient dialogue and talks with all stakeholders in the State".   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
