This is not just a betrayal of the people of J&amp;K\u2014it&#8217;s a slap in the face of democracy and the Constitution,<\/strong>\u201d Karra stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As frustration grows over the government&#8217;s inaction, Karra demanded that the Centre <strong>honor its pledge<\/strong>, warning that Congress would not hesitate to <strong>launch a mass movement<\/strong> if the statehood issue was not resolved swiftly. &#8220;<strong>We will take to the streets, we will raise our voices, and we will not rest until our rightful statehood is restored,<\/strong>\u201d he declared, receiving loud cheers from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karra also reflected on the <strong>pivotal role<\/strong> Congress played in keeping the BJP in check by forging a <strong>coalition with the National Conference (NC)<\/strong>, despite significant sacrifices by party leaders. He warned that those who believe they can defeat the BJP without Congress\u2019 support are making a <strong>grave mistake<\/strong>, especially given the BJP&#8217;s <strong>manipulation of institutions<\/strong> and <strong>vast election resources<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a passionate defense of democracy, Karra brandished the <strong>Constitution<\/strong> and sharply criticized the Centre\u2019s recent handling of the <strong>appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC)<\/strong> and <strong>Election Commissioners<\/strong>, highlighting the party\u2019s unwavering commitment to <strong>constitutional integrity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, JKPCC Chief Spokesperson Ravinder Sharma raised concerns over the <strong>unnecessary restrictions<\/strong> imposed on the Congress convention in Kishtwar, questioning the administration&#8217;s fears over the growing public support for the party&#8217;s mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prominent Congress leaders, including Working Presidents <strong>Tara Chand<\/strong> and <strong>Raman Bhalla<\/strong>, former MP <strong>Lal Singh<\/strong>, former MLC <strong>Naresh Gupta<\/strong>, DCC President <strong>Sheikh Mujeeb<\/strong>, and others, also addressed the rally, reiterating their commitment to the restoration of J&amp;K&#8217;s statehood and the protection of democratic rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Congress continues to build momentum, Karra\u2019s fiery speech has only intensified the party\u2019s resolve to fight for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, demanding the <strong>return of their rightful statehood<\/strong> and the preservation of <strong>democratic values<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tariq Hameed Karra, the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) chief, delivered a powerful message today at an enthusiastic workers&#8217; rally in Doda Dak Bungalow,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":970,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-969","post","has-post-thumbnail","category-jammu","category-kashmir"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=969"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":971,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969\/revisions\/971"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
