EARLY TIMES REPORT Jammu, Oct 14: - An emergency meeting of Pradesh Youth Congress senior activists was held today at PYC headquarters, Shahidi Chowk, Jammu under the chairmanship of R. S.

Recalling the concern of Congress leadership,. Pathania recalled the words of Prime Minister "the anger and frustration of the youth of Kashmir" and that of AICC President who has vouched for "their legitimate aspirations" be respected. Whereas Kashmir is virtually snowballing into a conflict – point in South Asia with severe repercussions for the people over here. It is high time that the misled stone-pelting youth in Kashmir come to appreciate the sincerity and sense of belonging of the Prime Minister, AICC President and the national youth icon, Rahul, for their personal efforts in resolving the issue over here. Further complimenting setting-up of Task Forces for Jammu and Ladakh, Pathania called upon the central leadership of the party to ensure that reports of these task forces does not gather dust like those of Gajendragadkar Commission and Wazir Commission.

Pura, Rajouri, Udhampur, Pir Panchal or Chenab Valley, or a Lama, Budhist or Shia from Ladakh, the people over here are equal emancipators of any meaningful dialogue with regard to political resolution of J & K.
