JAMMU, July 9: As part of a nationwide campaign launched by the Congress party against anti-people policies of the BJP led NDA government at the Centre, the Jammu and Kashmir unit of Mahila Congress on Friday held protests the hike in fuel and other essential commodities hike.

Large number of Mahila Congress workers joined Indu Pawar as they clang utensils to protest the hike in fuel prices. As mark of protest activists of Mahila Congress cooked food on the streets to give a message of unprecedented hike in gas cylinder prices, cooking oil and vegetables.
Indu Pawar said the rising prices of petrol-diesel, cooking gas, food items and other essential commodities have made life difficult for the common man, who are already facing hardship during the Covid times.
"Mahila Congress will fight with all its might against the anti-people steps of the government," she said addressing the gathering of party workers.
