Reports indicate that a group of Congress workers from Jammu and Kashmir gathered outside the AICC headquarters, raising slogans against Karra and Mir, whom they blamed for the party’s decline in the region. “These two have dismantled Congress’s foundation in Jammu and Kashmir,” one protester alleged. “The party was once a powerhouse here, but their leadership has left it adrift.”
The demonstrators claimed that they carried the Congress flag when it was a life-or-death gamble.
Holding placards and chanting slogans like “Remove Karra, Save Congress” and “Mir & Karra Betray Workers,” the protesters—many of whom claimed to be long-serving members with no personal motives—insisted their only goal was to rescue the party from further ruin in the region.
The agitating workers urged the Congress high command to act swiftly. “If the leadership wants Congress to survive in Jammu and Kashmir, removing Karra and Mir is the first step,” another protester asserted. “We need someone who values workers and restores faith in the party.” |
