AICC General Secretary Incharge Dr. Syed Naseer Hussain, along with JKPCC President Sh Tariq Hameed Karra and other senior Congress leaders, addressed the Voter Adhikar Samelan in Uri, Baramulla district on Thursday. The event sought to engage citizens and educate them about their voting rights as upcoming elections approach.
Organized by former minister Shri Taj Mohiuddin, the samelan attracted a wide array of political figures, including ex-minister G.M. Saroori and MLAs Nizamuddin Bhat, Irfan Lone, and Abdul Raheem Rather. These leaders took the opportunity to emphasize the significance of voter participation in strengthening democracy.
Dr. Syed Naseer Hussain highlighted that enhancing voter awareness is crucial for a vibrant democracy. He stated, “This samelan is pivotal for empowering ordinary citizens with the knowledge they need to exercise their voting rights effectively.” His remarks underlined the Congress party’s commitment to ensuring all voices are heard in the electoral process.
During the gathering, leaders shared insights on the impending electoral challenges and the critical role of voter education in overcoming them. The samelan aimed to mobilize grassroots support and inspire attendees to participate actively in the electoral process.
Former minister G.M. Saroori remarked, “Engaging with the public and focusing on their voting rights will enable us to build a stronger, more representative government.” This sentiment echoed throughout the event, reaffirming the Congress party’s focus on inclusivity in governance.
MLAs Irfan Lone and Abdul Gani Khan emphasized interventions that aim to simplify the voting process for citizens, encouraging innovative approaches that bring various segments of society into the fold. Their proactive stance resonates with the party’s overarching goal of fostering a political environment that encourages participation.
As the elections draw closer, these efforts signify a strategic initiative by the Congress party to fortify its base in Jammu and Kashmir, a region historically noted for its unique political dynamics. The Voter Adhikar Samelan served as a platform for strengthening community ties and advocating for a robust electoral framework.
This engagement not only addresses immediate electoral concerns but also aims to build long-term trust between the electorate and elected representatives. The Congress aims to create an environment where every citizen feels a sense of ownership and responsibility towards the democratic process.
The Voter Adhikar Samelan represents more than just an event; it symbolizes a movement towards greater civic engagement and empowerment in Uri and beyond. Such initiatives reflect the ongoing efforts by political leaders to enhance electoral participation among citizens, promoting democracy at every level.
