Karra condemns Vikar’s derogatory remarks against NC leadership

Jammu, Sep 09: J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Tariq Hameed Karra on Monday strongly condemned the derogatory remarks and unparliamentarily language used by Congress leader and INC Candidate Vikar Rasool Wani against the National Conference leadership during a programme in Banihal yesterday.

The Congress party disassociates itself from such statements and condemns the use of such language, Karra said in a statement.

“We have great respect for Late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and Dr Farooq Abdullah, who is one of the most senior and respected political leaders of J&K. The INC and NC are fighting the upcoming elections in alliance against the BJP and will continue to fight for the dignity and rights of the people of J&K,” JKPCC President said.

He added that such statements are unacceptable and go against the values of democracy and respect for political opponents. He urged all political leaders to maintain dignity and respect in their public discourse.

“We reiterate our commitment to the alliance and our joint fight against the BJP's divisive politics. We will continue to work together to protect the interests of J&K and its people,” JKPCC President said.
