Congress party high command will take the decision of pre-poll in alliance in the state at an appropriate time, Congress General Secretary and In charge J&K Affairs Mohan Prakash Saturday said, “To comment on the issue (pre-poll alliance with National Conference) at the moment is premature. But whenever the issue will arise, the party high command will take a decision.”

While calling the recent attacks on Sarabjit Singh and Sonaullah as unfortunate incidents, he said “It shouldn’t have happened. Pakistan is a neighboring country and our policy has always been to keep good relations with neighbors. Some people don’t want friendship between the two countries but we want to defeat them.”
On fake drug issue in which a senior Congress leader is allegedly involved, he said, “The probe in the matter is already going on. Congress leaders should avoid issuing statements against each other on the issue.”
