Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Chief, Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz distanced himself from controversy surrounding dismissal of G M Saroori from council of ministers and said that the berth would be filled up by a Congressman.
He also said the party has favoured a vigorous dialogue between various groups of different shades of opinion in the state and the centre to find a solution to Kashmir issue, acceptable to all the three regions of the state.
Soz, while fielding media queries over factionalism within the Congress Party, said the dismissal of G M Saroori was a decision of party high command and he has no role in it. “We have never pressurized the party high command for sacking Saroori. It would be better to ask, Prithvi Raj Chavan, in charge J&K Affairs Congress party and Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah over the issue,” he said
Putting all speculations to rest vis-à-vis filling up of vacancy created in the Council of Ministers in Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of dismissal of G M Saroori, Soz said somebody else from Congress party would be assigned the job. “I had served as minister for mere six months and for one year in next term but I am still working for party. It is prime responsibility of every Congress worker to strengthen the party at grass root level selflessly,” the JKPCC president said.
“The dismissal of Saroori won’t affect the government. The vacancy created in the council of ministers would be filled up by the Congress soon,” he said.
Minister for Roads and Buildings was sacked on August 26 after he refused to heed a Congress high command directive to resign in the wake of a row over alleged use of an impersonator by his daughter during a medical entrance test. On the demand of autonomy and self rule in Jammu and Kashmir, the PCC chief said, “The Party is ready to hold dialogue with all shades of people. We are also ready to discuss the different proposals like autonomy and self rule within the framework of the Constitution,” adding “Even the Prime Minister and the Home Minister has offered dialogue with all shades of the people.”
Earlier, Soz while addressing a day-long session of Congress delegates from all parts of district Samba reiterated that the Congress would play the role of a facilitator for dialogue between various groups of different shades of opinion in the state and the centre to find a solution to Kashmir issue, acceptable to all the three regions of the state.
“The strengthening of Congress is our primary responsibility, as a strong Congress is a guarantee for a strong and stable coalition in the state. It is the duty and responsibility of every Congressman to work for strengthening the party, only then the coalition would be strong in the state,” he said.
