“Azad lost due to religious polarisation”
SRINAGAR MAY 18: Pradesh Congress Committee Joint Secretary, Salman Nizami today said that Congress is a movement that will surge back. The utterances of leaders of regional parties are inconsequential; it’s time for involving youth in the party, their involvement will regenerate the hollowed pillars of the congress Institution. He said that we cannot do away with the contribution and sacrifices made by our elders but at the same time we have to realize the writings on the wall. By way of their involvement we will infuse a new energy to the congress party. He said you need to get back the trust and faith of the people by involving more and more people in the party, we need to deeply introspect what went wrong and we lost the trust of people. We need to understand that congress is the party which has got freedom for India and the leaders had sacrificed their lives for the unity of the country. Congress is the only party which has a vision, strategies for the progress of the Country; we will come back because there is no other choice for the people for secular India. We are a party who believes in development and peace, Our genda is economic empowerment, our dream is India to be a permanent seat in the UN’s security council that is by way of peaceful, prosperous and Secular India. He further said that Our Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad had done a lot of development work in his constituency Udhampur, but we lost the seat as we failed to inform the people about it,” Nizami said. He added that polarisation also influenced the susceptible minds of the young voters. “In many constituencies, it was an election between two different communal sentiments, thanks to Modi openly exhorting religious sentiments of voters of one particular community,”. He said unfortunately our nation has been exploited on religious sentiment and generations to come will never forgive us as India is not in safe hands under BJP’s rule.
