Urged J&K Governor to meet the required stock of Ration, fire wood and Kerosene oil in Kishtwar, Doda

MORI, DECEMBER 17: - Expressing serious concern over the erratic power supply and scarcity of essential commodities including ration, sugar, Kerosene oil and LPG supplies in twin district of Doda and Kishtwar, Senior Congress leader and Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC), Vice President, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori today said the Administration must ensure that people in Doda and Kishtwar are not neglected and sufficient arrangements are made in before a snowfall in the areas.

Saroori who visited Mori Panchayat of Bunjwah block, said the prevailing poor power supply has virtually left the life in the erstwhile Doda district out of gear and the people face tremendous hardships due non availability of ration, sugar, kerosene oil and LPG.

“In the freezing temperature the people have not only been deprived of ration, sugar, kerosene oil and LPG but the unscheduled power supply has added into their problems. Despite a huge hydroelectric potential, the state has been energy deficit for long and now when the cap on LPG cylinders has aggravated the situation, the authorities seem hardly bothered about the problems faced by the common people,” Saroori remarked.

Saroori said that unfortunately the same situation is being repeated every winter soon and the people of the area are left helpless. “People here are being devoid of basic amenities. No power schedule is being followed on ground and even metered areas are facing long and unscheduled power cuts much to the annoyance of public,” Saroori added that to meet the challenges of winter vagaries, Divisional Commissioner, secretaries, Directors of concerned departments, DDC’s, the higher ups in the administration need to ensure a better coordination between different departments especially those providing essential services.

He also urged the J&K Governor N. N. Vohra to meet the required stock of Ration, fire wood and Kerosene oil in district Doda and Kishtwar before on set of snowfall. He said there is immediate need for effective measures to bridge the gap between availability and consumption of electricity, and set up a dependable power delivery system in the State,” Saroori suggested.

Saroori also exhorted the party workers to aggressively pursue the agenda of the party because people of the State have endorsed, from time to time, the policies and programmes of the party. He said that Congress had translated its promises into realities so people of the State have very high hopes from our party.

Stable government alone can deliver on ground and satiate the aspirations of the people: Saroori

Congress will register massive victory in 2019 under the leadership of Ghulam Nabi Azad

Addressed public meeting at Kahara

KAHARA, DECEMBER 09: - Seeking clear mandate for Congress in the coming elections, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC), Vice President, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori on Sunday said a stable government alone can deliver on ground and satiate the aspirations of the people.

Addressing a public meeting here at Kahara area of Inderwal constituency, Saroori said fractured mandate was detrimental to the interests of a sensitive state like Jammu and Kashmir, which needs a special dispensation to meet the challenges on developmental, economic and political fronts.

Saroori said the state has been a victim of destabilisation, which has affected governance and decision making in the past. “Despite all these shortcomings, the UPA I and II has endeavoured to give a new dimension to development after heralding peace in the wake of most turbulent situation”, he said adding this momentum has to be maintained at all costs.

He said that Congress was of firm belief that challenges faced to the state can only be met by taking every segment along. Making a parallel between the Congress and other parties, he said it is the only party where decisions about governance are taken by the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh and not by the outsider. “Congress is a mass movement that knows no religious barriers or regional boundaries”, he maintained.

Saroori said those representing JK for 65 years have not done justice to their mandate by showing inertia to their bonafide obligations towards the region. He said Congress is the only party that can take care of genuine aspirations of the people. He said strengthening hands of the Congress is need of the hour”, and exuded confidence Congress registering massive victory to form a stable government in 2019 under the leadership of Ghulam Nabi Azad.

The other who spokes President District Congress Committee Doda, Sheikh Mujeeb, President BCC Thathri, Asgar Hussain Khangi, President BCC Kahara Chowdhary Farooq Ahmed, Bashir Ahmed Sirwal, Jaffer Parray, Hafiz Imtiyaz, Dilawar Parray, Jaswant Singh and others said that only Congress will devote themselves for the development of the constituency and welfare of its people. They said Mr. Saroori is fully aware about the gray areas that needed focussed attention in terms of upgrading infrastructure, improving facilities and ensuring various utility services. “As a foot soldier of Congress Mr.Saroori is committed to faster development of Inderwal”, they said and referred to his earlier efforts in this regard. They said Congress does not believe in emotive sloganeering and wants to take all segments of society together for heralding an era of progress and development.

Discard negative forces in the upcoming Parliament and Assembly elections: Saroori

People have to decide between communal forces led by BJP in the State and secular democratic society led by Ghulam Nabi Azad

Addressed public meeting at Drabshalla

DRABSHALLA, DECEMBER 08: - Thanking people of Inderwal for wholehearted support to Congress backed Sarpanches and Panches in the Panchayat election, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC), Vice President Ghulam Mohammad Saroori exhorted the people of Inderwal to discard negative forces in the upcoming Parliament and Assembly elections to be held in 2019 by giving a massive mandate to secular parties, which reflect real ethos of Jammu and Kashmir.

Mr. Saroori was addressing the public meeting here at Drabshalla to felicitate the newly elected Congress backed Sarpanches and Pacnhes of the block.

Saroori hit BJP left, right and centre describing the party an amalgam of power hungry lot whose track record is sufficient proof of betray, opportunism, deception and double-face of its leadership. “Power hungry BJP leadership is known for political somersaulting and making alliances for their convenience”, he said and reminded the people of the broken promises made by this party to the people on providing ‘employments, Rs. 15 lakhs in each account’ and giving ‘healing touch’ to their wounds.

“All are aware that on employment front BJP got themselves employed as the Coalition partner in the J&K, and instead of giving healing touch to the people the leadership of BJP gave them killing touch and indulged in highest degree of nepotism, malpractices and misgovernance. So much so that they dislodged the government of their coalition partner for power thrust”, he said and cautioned the people of the habitual tactics of BJP leadership to blow its own trumpet and mislead the people by raising sentimental and false slogans.

Saroori said that BJP leadership is misleading the masses that they bought “Badlau” (Change) on the ground but in reality they are doing this to deceive the people again which they have done before in 2014 elections. He said that ‘Badlau’ (Change) has already been affected in Inderwal by me in peace scenario, prosperity and in the development process during the last over sixteen years through the implementation of people-friendly policies.

“You have to decide between communal forces led by BJP in the State and secular democratic society led by Ghulam Nabi Azad in the upcoming elections”, Saroori told the people and said that Jammu and Kashmir has always been abode of secular and pluralistic credentials. “We the people of Jammu and Kashmir have always rejected communal forces and the track record in this regard particularly of Inderwal is glaring and unblemished. We have to understand the game being played by BJP to divide us and garner support for its tutors from Nagpur”, he asserted.

The public meeting was also addressed by senior Congress leaders from Drabshalla block, Sarpaches and pacnhes, Youth Congress leaders and others.

BJP a party of broken promises: Saroori

If people want peace, progress and prosperity, they should strengthen hands of Congress

Addressed mammoth public meeting at Mugalmaidan Inderwal

MUGALMAIDAN, DECEMBER 06: -Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC), Vice President, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori described BJP a party of broken promises, saying it is used to making hollow rhetorical promises with the least intention of keeping their word.

“Spell out even one of the promises that has been kept”, Saroori dared the BJP while addressing a mammoth public meeting here at Mugalmaidan area of Inderwal constituency.

Saroori listed some of the promises made by BJP, as latest as in the past four years, saying the people of Chenab have suffered a lot during PDP-BJP regime.

He said the PDP-BJP generated euphoria over peace, progress and development in Chenab Valley but once coming into power they left the people high and dry. Instead of increasing the pace of development in the region, the PDP and BJP government found it more convenient to decrease the funds for the development and in Kashmir they have increased the number of pellet bullets to target Kashmiris, he said and asked as to what had happened to the much hyped ‘battle of ideas’.

Saroori said they did not make any efforts to relieve the weaker sections of their hardships. He said incompetence of BJP and PDP Government pushed back State in all sectors and no progress has been recorded in the core sectors like PHE, PDD, R&B, Health, Education, etc during last four years. He said that while the insensitive PDP and BJP failed in assuaging urges and aspirations of the people on political front, its record in governance was quite dismal. “The State was virtually witnessing mis-governance with government nowhere to be seen on ground”, he said, adding that if at all there is any visibility of the PDP and BJP anywhere in the State, it was for all the wrong reasons of exploiting people and inciting them to fight each other.

He said the BJP has been instrumental in adding to the miseries of people. In an atmosphere of uncertainty and political instability, the people of the state in general and Chenab Valley in particular are passing through most difficult times.

“If you want peace, progress and prosperity in the state, you should strengthen hands of Congress. Ghulam Nabi Azad as Chief Minister of the State I had started two and three shift work in construction of important projects like road, hospitals and colleges.” “To steer them out of this predicament, the people must come out in large numbers and support in the upcoming Parliament and Assembly elections”, Saroori said, adding that it will be a vote against the broken promises of the PDP and BJP.

Party with the support of the people would defeat the designs aimed at diluting the distinct identity of the state: Saroori

Bhalessa has been deliberately ignored by the BJP and PDP over the last four years

Holds public meeting at Jakyas

JAKYAS, DECEMBER 03: - Asserting that Indian National Congress (INC) was the only party which could stop communal forces in JK, Vice President JKPCC and MLA Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori said Congress party with the support of the people would defeat the designs aimed at diluting the distinct identity of the state.

Saroori said the collapse of Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) in the state as major political forces has pitted the Congress directly against BJP. He said while it was legitimate for BJP or any other party to seek a majority in the assembly, the divisive agenda pursued by it to achieve its goal was detrimental to the interests of the state and the country.

He said the special status granted by the Constitution to the state was neither a concession nor was it subservient to the ideology of any political party. “The special status of Jammu and Kashmir was a historical necessity in view of the circumstances and realties of the situation that led to the partition of the country, post independence nation building efforts,” said Saroori.
