SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Chief, Vikar Rasool Wani on Thursday said that the Congress party would introduce special legislation under the constitution to safeguard the land, employment, and identity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir if elected to power.
Congress Chief said that the party will fight to protect people’s rights, particularly those related to land, employment, and identity. “If voted to power, Congress will bring special laws that are already implemented in other states to ensure that the land, jobs and identity of the people are protected,” he said.
Wani further added that the BJP government has highlighted the abrogation of Article 370 in a way as if JK was part of Pakistan. “Since the law has been abrogated, we will identify some special laws that will grant protection to the identity of people. We have already passed a resolution and submitted it before the All India Congress Committee (AICC).”
About the back-to-back meetings and rallies, JKPCC Chief stated that that party is gearing up for the polls. “We have organized a record-breaking number of events and meetings. No other party than Congress has organized this number of meetings and events,” he said.
“We have strengthened the party at the grassroots level. In J&K, Congress is the only party having the workers and leaders from all across. There is not a single place where the Congress party does not have the members. No doubt, in some places we are weak, but there are many areas where we have a stronghold. We have geared up, If we get some more time, the Congress will form its own government,” he said.
About the parliamentary elections, Wani said that the decision lies with the INDIA alliance only. “We will fight it in coalition.”
