Jammu, Aug 7: As the countdown for the maiden Assembly elections in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has begun, former minister and Congress Working Committee (CWC) member Tariq Hamid Karra has been camping in Jammu for the past two days to hold interaction with his loyalists in the party.
Karra is meeting with the leaders who are against the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief Vikar Rasool Wani.
Highly placed sources said that with the support of some senior Congress leaders, Karra has intensified the efforts to muster support for ousting Vikar Rasool Wani's campaign.
Sources said that anti-Vikar Rasool Wani has stepped campaign to expose alleged embezzlement of funds during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
“Anti-Vikar lobby in the party is trying to corner the Pradesh Congress Committee chief by exposing alleged financial irregularities during the Bharat Jodo Yatra to mount pressure on him (Wani)”, sources said, adding, “Karra’s visit to Jammu is also aimed at strengthening anti-Vikar Rasool group.

n the Union Territory.
The Congress has lost the two parliamentary seats in Jammu to the BJP for three consecutive terms. Now, facing another setback, numerous party leaders are calling for Wani's removal, accusing him of sidelining senior leaders, fostering factionalism, and creating an unprecedented crisis within the party.
Reports indicate that four letters have been sent to the AICC President and the Congress Working Committee. The first letter, dated May 7, criticized Wani for ignoring office bearers and causing significant internal issues. Another letter was addressed to Congress Working Committee member Tariq Karra.
Former MLA Sopore Haji Rashid wrote the third letter on May 30, claiming he was marginalized by Wani during the election campaign. The fourth letter, sent on June 2 by eight general secretaries, three vice presidents, three secretaries, and a district president, further detailed Wani's alleged misconduct.
Vikar Rasool was appointed PCC president in August 2022, succeeding former minister Ghulam Ahmad Mir. A former legislator from Banihal, Wani chose to lead the PCC over joining Ghulam Nabi Azad’s new party.
The J&K Congress is currently divided into two factions: one loyal to Vikar Rasool Wani, and the other comprising senior leaders like Ghulam Ahmed Mir and Tariq Hamid Karra.
