The Political Affairs Committee of the Congress party which met in Srinagar on Sunday urged the Union Government to revisit their policy of dealing with the militancy, dealing with the people, and dealing with the democratic systems in Jammu Kashmir.
While taking stock of the prevailing political scenario in the Union territory, the PAC members also deliberated on the issue of forging any fresh alliance ahead of the forthcoming Assembly polls.
The Congress and the National Conference contested the recent Lok Sabha polls in alliance. Both parties garnered majority votes from at least 41 out of 90 Assembly constituencies. The National Conference secured majority votes from 34 seats ( 27 in Kashmir and 7 in Jammu region) while the Congress party secured popular vote on seven assembly seats in Jammu.
The Congress party leaders from both the regions of Jammu, Kashmir attended the meeting along with AICC Incharge Bharatsinh Solanki, JKPCC Chief Vikar Rasool Wani, Chairman PAC Tariq Hameed Karra.
Addressing media persons in Srinagar Chairman of the PAC Tariq Hamid Karra said the prevailing security situation, especially the recent surge in the terrorist activities in the Jammu region is a matter of great concern. Karra said the tall claims of the government and LG administration have fallen apart.
Karra maintained that we have been saying for a long time there is no space for the politics of jingoism and the government must revisit its policy of dealing with the militancy and the people of Jammu Kashmir.
Referring to the possibility of forming any alliance ahead of Assembly polls Karra said the PAC deliberated on a specific agenda and among several other issues we also discussed whether to go ahead and form an alliance or not during the Assembly polls.
