KATHUA/SAMBA: Senior Congress leader and sitting MLA Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori on Thursday addressed series of meetings to seek votes in favour of Congress candidates from Billawar, Basohli, Kathua, Raipur Domana and Samba Constituency.
On the last day of campaigning Saroori called upon the people to strengthen the bond of amity and brotherhood for the overall development of the State and cast votes in favour of Congress candidates by pressing the hand button on 20th December.
He asserted that BJP is not in a position to form government in J and K. “People of the country have given a decisive mandate to BJP to perform at national level during Lok Sabha elections”, Saroori said and added that in J and K the people in the on-going elections have made up their mind to give Congress a decisive mandate.
Saroori further added that Congress led by Ghulam Nabi Azad during its tenure of just two and half years had proved how to provide good governance to the people.
With BJP party skirting any statement on Article 370, Saroori said BJP is shying away from committing on this contentious issue and is instead keeping its “feet in two boats” in Jammu and Kashmir which normally ends up “sinking”.
Saroori also said BJP talking in different voices on Article 370 that grants special status to J and K and avoiding making a direct statement on the issue during the Assembly polls.
At Samba Saroori also condemned the attack on a school in Peshawar Pakistan in which at least 124 children were killed, saying there is never a justification for terrorism. Terming the attack as “crime against humanity”, he said prayers are with the families and loved ones of all those who lost their lives or were injured in this barbaric incident.
