Restoration of statehood, powers of Assembly key issues for Congress: Karra
Srinagar: IIOJK Congress chief Tariq Hameed Karra has reiterated that the Assembly polls are not just about forming a government or adjusting leaders in the dispensation but about “restoration of statehood and powers of the assembly” as well as “our lost dignity”.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Karra was also non-committal on whether the chief minister would be from the National Conference (NC) in case the Congress-NC alliance wins the polls, saying “we can’t forecast things that have to follow after the elections”.
In an interview, Karra exuded confidence that the Congress-NC combine would form the government crossing the magic mark in the 90-member assembly and the Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP would not be able to hamper their chances much.
The Congress chief also asserted that the Ghulam Nabi Azad-led Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) is a “closed case” and “doesn’t have a future”.
