G.M Saroori interacted with public at Kishtwar and Sinthan

Dividing people in the name of region or religion is the handwork of PDP & BJP

Congress always worked to unite the communities and harmonize in Jammu and Kashmir

CHATROO, JULY 24: - Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC), Vice President and Member of Legislative Assembly from Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori today interacted with the people at Kishtwar and Sinthan area of sub-division Chatroo.

The people apprised the MLA Inderwal about their grievances and various other issues. The MLA Inderwal gave patient hearing to the people and passed on spot directions for the redressal of their grievances. He also instructed R&B officers to complete the Dak Bungalows at Chingam and Sinthan and asked RDD department to immediately repair the bathrooms constructed there.

“Highlighting merits of unity and reminding people of the sacrifices made by Congress to strengthen communal harmony, solidarity and unison between various sections of the society in the state in general and Inderwal in particular, Saroori said while interacting with the people and added that dividing people in the name of region or religion can be the handwork of ‘pen and ink pot’ (symbol of PDP) or ‘kamal’ (symbol of BJP), but the Congress has always worked to unite the communities and harmonize in Jammu and Kashmir especially in Inderwal.

“The slogan of Hindu, Muslim Sikh Itihad Zindabad practiced and nurtured by Mahatma Gandhi has remained the governing principal of Congress political policy”, he said and vowed his party’s determination to further strengthen this characteristic.

Advising all the people to live in brotherhood and harmony and reject those who try to wedge them apart on communal lines, Saroori told them to complement each others’ efforts aimed at welfare and development of weaker sections. He said some elements want to divide them for vested interests. He asked them to beware of this conspiracy and exhibit their unity in fighting poverty and injustice. He said Congress symbolizes their aspirations and works for their unity to help their equitable, holistic and all round development.

“While interacted with a deputation from Thathri, Saroori said that people are aware that the preachers and exercisers of ‘divide and rule’ politics after getting your votes have left you alone when you needed during the needy time at the time of devastating cloudburst in Thathri, that too few victims belongs from ruling party. Your so called leaders or organisation like RSS or Shiv Sena, Bajrang Dal did not voice the victims before the Minister for RDD for sanctioning IAY cases for the victims whose houses got totally damaged or for any relief from the state government. He said and advised them to make their leaders who would stand for their cause and plead their demands vehemently with the authority.

Saroori further said that Inderwal constituency has been an abode of peace where people of different faiths have been living in complete harmony and brotherhood since long. He said that few nefarious people want to create communal tension and any sort of discord among different sections of the society does not go well with the time tested unity and glorious traditions of the area that has been a shining and proud symbol of Hindu, Muslim, Sikh brotherhood. "The spirit of amity and tranquillity, despite grave provocations from time to time by RSS, BJP, Shiv Sena and Bajrang Dal, has been high point of the pluralistic ethos that distinguishes the area in the entire state," he maintained.
