Alliance with NC won’t stop Congress from raising people’s issues: Karra
Srinagar: The Congress chapter in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir has said that it will continue to raise people’s genuine concerns in the Assembly despite being in an alliance with the National Conference (NC).
According to Kashmir Media Service, IIOJK Congress President and alking to reporters in Srinagar said, “We are in alliance with the National Conference, but that does not mean we will not raise public issues. We will take up genuine concerns and ensure they are expedited.”
He said the purpose of the Assembly is to raise questions and ensure that issues concerning people are addressed at the earliest, irrespective of whether they were raised by ruling party members or those from the opposition.
“The purpose of the Assembly is that work should be done as soon as possible. For that, everyone raises questions, whether it is from the ruling party or the opposition party,” he added.
Asked about the Congress’s recent differences with the NC over issues, including Vande Mataram and the UPI, Karra said the party’s position should be viewed in the broader context of its alliance with the NC.
He said that the alliance would not prevent the Congress from raising issues concerning the public. “Being in an alliance does not mean that we will not raise people’s issues. Being in an alliance does not mean that we will not talk about people’s legitimate demands. So there is no connection between that and this,” Karra maintained.
