Saroori files nomination paper from Inderwal

Kishtwar, November 03: - Cautioning the people of Chenab Valley to stand united against the conspiracies being hatched by outside forces to divide them, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and former Chief Minister of J&K, Ghulam Nabi Azad said that Congress Party has given a sense of belonging and identity to the backward and neglected region of the State called Chenab Valley.

Ghulam Nabi Azad said that those who donot want this neglected region of Chenab Valley to flourish are plotting and conspiring against it by dividing the people on religious lines. Expressing hope and confidence that people will see through the motives of vested interests, Azad said that Chenab Valley will re-assert itself to maintain its unity, strength as well as relevance in the State politics.

Earlier Congress candidate from Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori who is also a MLA inderwal today filed his nomination papers for the Inderwal Assembly segment. Arriving at election office at Kishtwar in a procession, 59 year old Saroori filed his nomination papers in presence of Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and former chief Minister J&K, Ghulam Nabi Azad.

Shouting slogans in their support, people waved party flags to greet Saroori, Azad, who arrived at the election office in a small open truck. Later a procession was taken out by the supporters of Congress Party which turned into a huge public meeting at Chowgan ground in Kishtwar.

Appreciating the wisdom and sagacity of the people of Chenab Valley, Azad said that people are fully conscious of the benefits of unity which they have reaped in the last ten years by reposing their trust in the Congress Party.

Underlining the need to empower t-he Chenab Valley and further devolve the powers to bring the process of governance and development further closer to the people, Azad said that tough terrain and remoteness of the region calls for the setting up of new and creative governance structure which can remove the deficit of development which this region has suffered before 2002.

Azad further said that the need to accelerate the process of progress and development in the Chenab Valley region, Azad assured the people that yet another united show will enable him to fulfill his dream of converting Chenab Valley into a “Model Region” of the State. “I have a dream of making a modern and progressive Chenab Valley which will be an example for the State and if people show their confidence in me, I will give them the desired results”, said Azad.

Recalling his thrust on power sector, Azad said during his Chief Ministership long pending DulHastiHydel Project and BaghliarHydel Power Project were got completed and inaugurated by Prime Minister, in addition to taking up of NimoBazgo and Chutak Power Projects. He further said that Rattle Power Project was put to tenders during his chief Ministership.

While addressing the gathering Congress candidate from Inderwal, G. M. Saroori said that the Inderwal got the highest number of new administrative units recently in entire state, he said that it is the pressure and persuasion of Congress Party which made this possible for the Chenab Valley region including Inderwal, adding further that he and Mr. Azad will continue to raise their voice for Chenab Valley with greater resolve and vigour in future also.

Saroori confidently declared that the Congress party will form next government and Ghulam Nabi Azad will be next Chief Minister of J&K. “People must believe in the leadership of the Congress as only those leaders will stay who are connected with the grass-roots. The Congress is the oldest party of India and people are connected with the Congress party,” Saroori said.

He said Congress party was like an ocean, which had faced several storms. “Even big ships which have collided with the Congress have sunk and are no more. Whosoever collides with us in the future will meet the same fate,” Saroori said.

Saroori reminded people of various developmental works done during the past 12 years. “The decision of constituting new administrative units, medical colleges, cancer institute, MGNREGA, Food security, NRHM are historical steps taken by the Congress,” Saroori said.
